The Cellist of Sarajevo

I visited Sarajevo in the summer of 2017. I spent two weeks exploring it, drinking coffee near Sebilj, admiring the architecture, kissing the woman I loved on those little beautiful streets. I spoke to locals who are my age but are war survivors. The stories I heard in those two weeks stayed with me. Thus when I saw this book I knew I must read it!
The characters are so vivid and so real you can't help but feel you are wondering in those streets of Sarajevo yourself during the siege. The book takes your breath away and you cannot put it down. It makes you stop and think how would you survive something like this? How you go on about your life when your loved city becomes a war zone? Hopefully, I will never know.
