An incredibly powerful book. I can’t believe that millions of people had similar experiences. I only took of 1/4 of a point because it was upsetting.

a very important, hard read. definite warnings if you can't read about blood, genocide, murder, but i'm grateful that she didn't sugarcoat the atrocities committed on the cambodian people. we all know genocide and war is bad, but it's books like these that humanize the victims and give us vivid insight into what happened to them. how the effects of war stay with you forever. i hope ung's family members who were murdered have found peace; a book like this is a blessing that exists.
