COMPOSITION CORNER RECOMMENDED

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett is a beautiful exploration of the impact art can have on anyone’s life. Set against an unlikely background of a hostage situation in an unnamed South American country (loosely based in the ‘96 Lima Crisis in Peru), this novel deeply explores the intricate set of relationships that develop among the captives over several months, as they gradually turn to art, music, and companionship to find solace in their confinement.
