Holiday in Cambodia by Laura Jean McKay

4.0

I stumbled across this while looking for a holiday read, and then didn't put it down all day. It was incredibly interesting, a series of short stories or vignettes about holidays in Cambodia or Cambodian times. It did past, present, and even (I think) a future, which was something I had never encountered before. There were things about Khmer culture, Khmer Rouge, present day bar girls, ghosts, fortune, and a host of nods to pieces of the Cambodia that I know and love. Some stories were sad, some funny, some unusual, and all of them well written. The words were well chosen, succinct. I recommend this to anyone who knows Cambodia in one way or another; it was interesting, and a quick read.
