The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven GallowayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The story of how people keep living in a city under siege. How do you keep living when you have no electricity, water, food and everything is closed to you. Even going out for a bit of water is a huge risk. Snipers are just killing people, ordinary citizens, as they try to go about their routines.
The cellist saw twenty-two people killed while waiting for bread in line. This prompted him to play his cello one day for each person who was killed.
This will make you take a hard look at how lucky we actually are. A good read.
