Ann Patchett draws inspiration from a real life hostage situation in Peru but seems to be oblivious to the social issues that caused this political crisis. Her focus is on a beautiful American opera singer who mesmerizes even her hostage takers, whom Patchett portrays as uneducated young men from a poor country in the jungle whose understanding of music is limited to the sounds of birds (?). I can’t finish this book.
