The Cellist of Sarajevo
Shirley Shi
My prediction for the novel, The Cellist of Sarajevo, is that the novel is going to be out the siege in Sarajevo. It’s also going to be out a survival story for different kinds of characters in the novel.

The brewery is not close to his apartment so he has to walk a long way and he has to carry Mrs.Ristovski’s two water bottles with her along the way. What makes him even more afraid of dying is walking slowly.
