bekahwright 's review for:
Bel Canto
by Ann Patchett
This was a wild ride. I needed to make a character list to keep up with who was who. I enjoyed the story very much. Later I found out that it was loosely based on a real event in Peru. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I read a little bit about the true hostage situation, and I can see some definite similarities. I enjoyed the character development. Sympathy toward each other grew from both sides; Stockholm syndrome played out in this book. The whole story broke my heart.
The epilogue of the book really bothered me and it didn’t make sense. There was no hint or explanation that would make that work for me. That’s why it took off one star.
