Mary Ellen--#1--Canadian Authors--British Columbia-- Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway

I loved this book. It is a beautifully written account of what could have occurred during the siege of Sarejevo. The Cellist of Sarejevo did exist. Twenty-two people, waiting to buy bread, were killed. 70 others were injured. This happened at 4 in the afternoon on May 27th, 1992. These people had been struck down by several mortar shells. Because of this and the actions of our Cellist who saw this unfold before him, this novel came to be. Told in three people's perspectives of the days following these events, this is their story . It is well worth the read.
