The Cellist of Sarajevo - A Psychological Landscape

The Cellist of Sarajevo

A Psychological Landscape: With these reservations in mind, I did enjoy Steven Galloway's The Cellist of Sarajevo. I felt transported to that time and place where Canadian soldiers I know served. I could imagine the stresses of a population under siege attempting to survive while snipers above them try to foil their efforts. The psychological landscape feels real. Daily routines. Rituals. Memory. Markets and black markets. Conscription into the armed conflict.
