The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway

This book brings the lives of four individuals together during the conflict in Sarajevo: the cellist, who vows to play every day at 4 o'clock for 22 days for the 22 victims of a bombing while standing in line for bread; Arrow, a sniper who must protect the cellist, Dragan, who is trying to simply cross an intersection, and Kenan, a man who travels to collect water for his family on the other side of town. An excellent novel.
