New York, NY Harper Audio, 2001. Audio Cassette Eight Audio Cassette Tapes in Excellent condition. The tapes have probably been played but show no signs of it. These are housed in a white plastic clamshell style case with a colorful wrap-around promotional sheet by "Audio Adventures", a UK-based Audio company. The Cassettes themselves state Harper Audio and Blackstone Audiobooks, an Ashland, OR based company. Naturally, we are a bit confused. The case is in Very Good+ condition, showing a bit of buckling at the sides. Little wear overall. Everything considered, Very Good++ - Near Fine. But the tapes play well. Performed by Anna Fields. Twelve hours of listening pleasure. Audio Book: Cassette Tapes.

Synopsis

PerfectBound e-book exclusive: "Friendship and Love," an interview with Ann Patchett.A prolonged hostage crisis in the lavish home of a South American politician turns into something quite different as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and passionate, ill-fated love blooms. Winner of the 2002 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the 2002 Orange Prize for Fiction.Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening -- until a band of gun-wielding terrorists breaks in through the air-conditioning vents and takes the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different countries and continents become compatriots. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motion and cannot be stopped.
