Join us for an exciting meetup where we combine language exchange with exploring literature. This event is perfect for language enthusiasts and bookworms looking to enhance their language skills while discussing fascinating books.

This month, we will be discussing Bel Canto by Ann Patchett.

Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honour of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxane Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerised the international guests with her singing.

It is a perfect evening – until a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, a moment of great beauty, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds.

南米のとある小国。副大統領邸では、日本企業の社長ホソカワの誕生パーティが開かれていた。特別ゲストの世界的オペラ歌手ロクサーヌが歌い終えた瞬間、武装したゲリラがなだれ込んでくる。副大統領邸は反政府組織に占拠されてしまったのだ。膠着状態が続くうち、ゲリラと人質の間には奇妙な絆が生まれ、彼らはその状況に幸せすら感じるようになる……極限状態で生まれる心の交流を描く傑作。
