Lucky Child: A Daughter of Cambodia Reunites with the Sister She Left Behind by Loung Ung

dark reflective tense medium-paced

3.0

 This book is by the same author of First They Killed My Father, Loung Ung. In the other book, she describes her experiences in Cambodia when the Khmer Rouge took over. She talks about how she was separated from various members of her family, including her siblings. In this book, she recounts some of those experiences. She talks about how she and her older brother moved to the United States, and the struggles she had with a new culture, new language, and new people. The book also follows the life of her sister, who remained in Cambodia, and how different their lives where. It took them fifteen years to reunite, and that was a moving story. There is a third book by this author that I would like to read. I highly recommend these books for people interested in the Khmer Rouge and Asian history.
