The Cellist of Sarajevo Genre: Fiction Author: Galloway Publisher: Edition: Pages: 0 Release Date: Media Format: Softcover List Price: $0.00 My Rating:  |
| Summary This brilliant novel with universal resonance, set during the 1990s Siege of Sarajevo, tells the story of three people trying to survive in a city rife with the extreme fear of desperate times, and of the sorrowing cellist who plays undaunted in their midst. One day a shell lands in a bread line and kills twenty-two people as the cellist watches from a window in his flat. He vows to sit in the hollow where the mortar fell and play Albinoni’s Adagio once a day for each of the twenty-two victims. |
