Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
4.0

This was an unusual story about a hijacking of a party involving hostages. The standoff lasts months, causing a Stockholm syndrome that works both ways. At times I felt the story dragged on, but mostly I found it quite a pleasure to read, and it left me emotionally invested in the story by the end. I'd recommend it!
