As the mortars fall and the snipers conduct their deadly business, a cellist sits at his window, playing Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor. Then a bomb kills twenty-two people waiting in line to buy bread on the street below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the next twenty-two days he will carry his cello into the cratered street at four each afternoon and play the Adagio in memory of the dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteven Galloway's \u003ci\u003eThe Cellist of Sarajevo\u003c\/i\u003e imagines those twenty-two days through the eyes of three of its citizens: Kenan who sets out every few days to fetch water for his family; Dragan who longs to be reunited with his wife and son; and Arrow, a crack 'counter-sniper' who is assigned the job of keeping the cellist alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExquisite and profoundly moving, \u003ci\u003eThe Cellist of Sarajevo\u003c\/i\u003e gives life to the courage of a broken city.
