The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway
The Top 10 International Bestseller, now in paperback. 'A universal story, and a testimony to the struggle to find meaning, grace, and humanity, even amid the most unimaginable horrors.' Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner
Galloway's style is sparse, pared down; his prose has the deceptive simplicity of a short storyThe work of an expert, The Cellist of Sarajevo is a controlled and subtle piece of craftsmanship. * Observer *
Startlingly good... With prose as unsentimental and deadly as gunfire, Galloway superbly captures the tense existence of a city under siege where daily tasks become a gamble between life and death, yet where a single note of music can exert a power equal to any bomb or bullet. * Metro *
