The Disappeared by Kim Echlin
5.0
Beautiful novel. A few favorite quotes:
"Memory is a bit of light on a winter wall."
"I have filled in time since the day I lost you. A lifetime of silent pretending.
"If we live long enough, we have to tell, or turn to stone inside. I try to release you from a pit in my heart but unburied and unblessed you imprison me.
"I long for the brush of your fingers on my skin. I long for the light of your eyes. If I pray, I pray to a wounded god. In the end it is only the wounded who endure. In Cambodia they say, Loss will be god's, victory will be the3 devil's."
