challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I’ve been reading this book alongside my journey through Cambodia, during which I have visited sites such as the Killing Fields and S-21. 
Needless to say this is a very difficult yet extremely important read. 
I hope that this book, alongside the genocidal centres in Phnom Penh, will continue to be used as seminal resources to help ensure that crimes such as those committed during the Khmer Rouge regime never happen in any part of the world again.

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.
