This very moving story The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway is based on the Sarajevo siege from 1992 to 1996. There are three main characters with each chapter focusing on one of them. Looking back on this terrible time is hard to imagine while we were going about our ordinary daily lives, there were people over there just trying to survive each day. With mortar and snipers to contend with the people of Sarajevo did not know if they would live to see another day. They died waiting for bread, or collecting fresh water or just walking through the streets. This story makes our own petty problems seem completely insignificant in comparison. 4 1/2/5Saturday, April 11, 2009
