About this product

Product Information

In a mesmerizing story, Chanrithy Him vividly recounts her trek through the hell of the "killing fields." She gives us a child's-eye view of a Cambodia where rudimentary labor camps for both adults and children are the norm and modern technology no longer exists. Death becomes a companion in the camps, along with illness. Yet through the terror, the members of Chanrithy's family remain loyal to one another, and she and her siblings who survive will find redeemed lives in America. A Finalist for the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize.

Excellent book
I bought this book for a class. It didn't look particularly interesting at first, but it is compelling. it's the account of the Cambodian genocide in the 1970's, a first-hand account by a survivor who was a little girl at the time. This true story is so sad. I had to put it down at certain parts, but had to go back to it. Her memory is remarkable. She puts faces on the victims of war, their families and feelings so vividly. It relates to current world conditions and could apply to any number of populations. Beautifully written. It made me cry. I recommend it.
