    Read Me: The Two-Minute Book Review
    POSTED May 14, 7:38 AM
    Bel Canto, by Ann Patchett, was published in 2001 , and would seem to have been influenced by September 11--except that it was written before that event. It is a study of hostages and terrorists, their differences and similarities. If your world is beginning to look a bit black and white, this novel will restore the all-important gray areas to your perceptions. This is, unquestionably, my students' favorite novel of the year. Sometimes they don't return the books on time because their parents want to read it!
