I found this one hard to fully fall in love with until about 2/3 through. I adore Ann Patchett but this one took a while to hook me, but as the characters developed so did my interest. Hostage situation or utopia? Love or Stockholm syndrome? The ending made me gasp. One I'll need to spend a whike processing. If I loved opera maybe I'd give this 5 stars.
