Steven Galloway depicts the siege of Sarajevo in the early 1990s in his taut, compelling third novel. The narrative was inspired by the real story of a cellist who braved danger every day to play an adagio in a public square to commemorate the victims of a bombing attack. The story is told through the eyes of three characters, including a sniper enlisted to protect the cellist. The Cellist of Sarajevo captures what it's like to live in a war zone with visceral clarity. - CBC Books
