At last night's meeting, the general response to this book was positive. Some people were less willing to suspend their disbelief than others - but everyone enjoyed the "small stories"...
For more on what we discussed, see the youtube video. Much more impressive on screen than on the iphone:

Hello! I am an art friend of Kelly S. I'm a book lover as well and have decided to read along with your group each month. Kelly said I should share what I wrote to her about this book "Bel Canto" with the group and blog. So here it is:
I thought that the whole story was pretty much told in the first chapter and would have made a good short story. The rest of it was good, not earth-shaking, but good. I thought the opera singer was a bit shallow and was surprised that no one in the story really changed their minds about her during the confinement. I would have thought she would have fallen off of the pedistal they put her on quite quickly. Gen was a good character and I liked the changes he went through - UNTIL the ending! I thought by marrying the Opera Singer he completely reverted
to his old "follow the rules-straight-laced" habits. Sad, because I was pulling for him to "blossom" through the book. :)
So there you go. I could have gone deeper into analysis, which I tend to do after reading, but I will not bore you! Heh Heh! I've just finished "Atmospheric Disturbances" and am looking forward to hearing what people thought about that one.
Best, Tamara
