Blood Kin, by Ceridwen Dovey

4.0

A great short book - wonderful for a flight or day at the beach. This book reminds me a LOT of Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. Same sort of situation - a coup in a nameless country and people held hostage. This one is told from the perspective of three men close to the president - the barber, the chef and the portraitist. Then, in the middle of the book, the perspective shifts to that of three women also close to these men, and the President. Wonderful, I'm going to look for more from this author!
