Book Clubs: The Impact of War

"Inspired by the Sarajevo musician who, risking sniper fire, played his cello for 22 afternoons in honor of the 22 killed while standing in a breadline, this slim but powerful novel explores aspects of war not often addressed. Scenes of sorrow and danger, sacrifice and compromise make this a novel I will never forget." --Leslie Reiner, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL

"Set in the closing months of World War II, Skeletons at the Feast is a tale of romance, of a desperate last roll of the dice, of a quest for revenge, and a battle for survival. Gripping, illuminating, and, doubtlessly, controversial, the novel considers the question of collective guilt for the Holocaust and vividly illustrates the human costs of war." --Rich Rennicks, Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe, Asheville, NC
