... The Seige of Sarajevo

"It screamed downward, splitting air and sky without effort. A target expanded in size, brought into focus by time and velocity. There was a moment before impact that was the last instant of things as they were. Then the visible world exploded."

-- First sentence of the book The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway


Some books aren't about a plot, yet they still tell a touching story. This is one of them.
