Synopsis:  The acclaimed and inspiring international bestseller that is a tribute to the human spirit.

In a city ravaged by war, a musician plays his cello for twenty-two days at the site of a mortar attack, in memory of the fallen. Among the strangers drawn into the orbit of his music are a young father in search of water for his family, an older man in search of the humanity he once knew, and a young woman, a sniper, who will decide the fate of the cellist-and the kind of person she wants to be.

Review: At times this was hard to follow, but it is a moving story. We are very fortunate living in the United States, but we should never forget that our lives can change in an instant and that the lifestyle we enjoy cannot be taken for granted.
