I love this series so much. I’m definitely rooting for Noor and Jacob, him and Emma was sweet but also he deserves so much better than someone who is still in love with his grandfather, plus him and Noor are more age appropriate (as Emma is technically in her 80s). Excited to read book 6!
Such a heartbreaking but important book, more people really need to know about what happened to Cambodia.
Although it was emotionally painful to read, probably the most emotionally painful book I have read to date, my policy is that if people have to go through things like this then the least I can do is learn about it. I’m very glad to have read this book and very grateful to Ms. Ung for sharing this story with us.
Interesting read about a subject I knew little about. I appreciated how far back the author took the story as well as the inclusion of historical documents.
The use of the term “blacks” (lowercase b) throughout the book was a bit unsettling to me, especially because the author is white, curious to know how readers of color felt about that.
