Really powerful book. I've read books by Elie Wiesel, the Palawan massacre, the Bataan Death March, Mao's labor camps, and other horrific events. This one was the most challenging to read. The title of the book does not do it justice. The Khmer Rouge did so many horrific things to Luong and her family long before they killed her father. My only criticism is throughout the book the author drifted into her imagination quite a bit. At times it was hard to follow if she was really seeing something or if it was just in her thoughts.
