The Cellist of Sarajevo
1 journaler for this copy...
picked up at Target today as one of their "Bookmarked Breakouts". looking forward to reading it based on the back cover blurb.
Twenty-two people are killed while waiting on a bread line when a mortar attack falls on Sarajevo. Whether in homage or out of mourning for those killed or those left alive, the cellist performs an adagio at 4 o'clock every day for 22 days. During this time, we meet a young father, a bakery worker, and a soldier whose lives intersect with the cellist's gift as they attempt to survive in the war-torn city.
