Our May title is Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
At a lavish birthday party in South America, a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. A panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different. With music as their only common language, the terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different continents become compatriots, friends, and lovers.
