First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

Another heartbreakingly sad memoir, this one about a young girl who survived the Cambodian genocide.   I enjoyed learning about this time period in Cambodia but this was a really rough one. As always I have a hard time reviewing memoirs but this one was well-written, easy to follow, and informative. I did find it being set in the present tense a little off-pointing and found some of the mature insight weird in a child's voice and perspective.
