The Disappeared by Kim Echlin
4.0
Audiobook.
One woman's journey from teenager in Montreal, where she meets a Cambodian refugee at a music club one night, through their relationship, back to Cambodia and the realities of a country dealing with the aftermath of a genocide.
Told in flashbacks, this book gives a bit of Cambodian history but does not make genocide the focal point. It's there, omnipresent, sometimes in the background, sometimes clearly-stated and witnessed (such as going to visit the sites where some of the biggest events occurred).
