Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Ung relates her experience in the present tense, and Tavia Gilbert takes us on that journey with a superb performance that includes a myriad of emotions—from audible crying to fear and anger…[and] she certainly captures the emotional experience.” —AudioFile
“It’s a tough read, but definitely a worthwhile one, and the author’s personality and strength shine through on every page.” —Amazon.com
“A harrowing true story of the nightmare world that was Cambodia in those terrible times of mass murder and slow death through overwork, starvation, and disease. Will affect even readers who cannot find Ungs homeland on a map.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Ung’s memoir should serve as a reminder that some history is best not left just to historians but to those left standing when the terror ends.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Skillfully constructed, this account also stands as an eyewitness history of the period, because as a child Ung was so aware of her surroundings and because as an adult writer she adds details to clarify the family’s moves and separations.” —Publishers Weekly
Ung's memoir should serve as a reminder that some history is best not left just to historians but to those left standing when the terror ends. —Booklist Starred Review
