This stunning, shocking book, based on truth, tells the story of a Cambodian boy who lived through the time of the Killing Fields, when the Khmer Rouge destroyed the country. Many died, many more suffered terribly, but Arn survived - and even he doesn't know why. Now an ambassador for music and arts in his country, the book is written with Arn's voice as he witnessed the horror of those years. It is easy to read, because of the way it is told, and hard to read, because of what it's about. I recommend it highly.
Who would enjoy this? A must-read if you want to find out what happened in Cambodia during this period.
