An Italian woman returns to Sarajevo with her teenage son to revisit the places and people she and his father knew during the fighting there.This was an incredibly intense read - I both wanted to read it and didn't want to read it at the same time as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to cope with learning what had gone on. I found myself reading in short bursts and having to steel myself to pick it up again each time I put it down. But it was so compelling that I absolutely had to get to the end, however difficult that was going to be.Right from the beginning of the novel there is a sense of unease, enough to let you know that Gemms's return to Sarajevo will uncover truths that we will find hard to deal with. The reader has a sketchy idea of what might have happened, but when the truth was revealed it was way beyond anything I could have imagined and was deeply shocking. While I had been expecting some of the revelations in the plot, a major occurence towards the end of the book completely blindsided me. It felt like so many terrible things had happened that there couldn't possibly be anything else to fear - how wrong could a reader be?As Gemma is an outsider in Sarajevo we see things through her eyes which means that the book doesn't much examine the causes of the conflict or look at the politics of it. We're shown it from an outsiders perspective, which is what we are too.As with all novels in translation it's hard to tell what comes from the novelist and what comes from the translator, but apart from a couple of places where American spelling and phrasing jarred me I wasn't aware of any awkwardness in the language. The way the book is written is quite rat-a-tat-tat - lots of short scenes interspersed with longer ones. It's quite filmic in a way, with lots of fast cuts.Saying I liked the book or enjoyed it doesn't really convey how I felt about it. It's an astonishing piece of work and it's something I'm glad I read, but I wouldn't want to put myself through it again.

The Amazon blurb outlines the plot so I won't repeat that: it would also spoil the book for new readers to give away too much. I liked much of this book but thought that it lost its way somewhat as the two main plot strands - motherhood and war - are developed separately, diverge and then blend back together.On the plus side, the `present' narrative is done well: the sense of return to a place from the past as Gemma revisits Sarajevo after sixteen years; the city itself and its inhabitants, both scarred and fragile as they attempt to regain some kind of normality.The run-up to, and outbreak of, the war in the `past' narrative is also vivid and chilling: the small beginnings that no-one expects to turn into such a conflagration, the snipers, the casual savagery, the camps.However, in between these two there is an extended story of Gemma's obsessive quest for a baby and motherhood, most of which is set in her home country of Italy. This is personal taste, but I found this whole section a distraction from the main narrative which feels like it's been put on hold to get this bit out on paper.I also found the style a bit irritating as it feels like the author is artificially reaching for a pseudo-poetic style with tangled up similes and metaphors: a boy's eyelashes like `a row of bare trees in the snow, earth cut in two by a trench'; Sarajevo as a `pita bread stuffed full of the dead'; regret as `a tired old man who can't climb over the gates we build'. This might be a flaw in the translation, maybe these work in the original Italian, but they created a barrier between me and the story.So overall my reaction to this book is a little mixed: there are some very powerful aspects to the story and overall I liked it a lot. The whole thing could have been made tauter and more robust at points, especially the middle section. The last third, however, really comes together brilliantly leaving the story lingering hauntingly in my mind. Recommended.

"Don't Move" by Margaret Mazzantini I thought was a great novel - about the disturbing side of our emotional life and in the central character a psychologically compelling account of "splitting" between conflicting impulses. So I approached this new novel with high expectations.This too deals with disturbing themes, played out on a large scale in the siege of Sarajevo, ethnic cleansing, and the horrors of war. All this is experienced by a young Italian couple and Bosnian friends; and revisited 16 years later by the Italian mother with her 16 year old son.There's no doubting the ambition of this novel, or the power of the plotting - which it's certainly worth reading at first hand and so it's best for me not to cover this in any detail here. The translation is very much into American English (diapers, spit-up and so on) but that is only mildly offputting. Overall, though, I found it packed a less powerful punch than "Don't Move". And indeed other books about the same war, notably Slavenka Drakulovic's "As If I Am Not There".
