Publisher Description
Talented novelist Kim Echlin pens this "powerful, transcendent love story" (Publishers Weekly) about two young lovers torn apart by political turmoil. Anne meets Serey-a Cambodian refugee-in MontrEal when she is just 16 years old. But when the Cambodian border opens up for only a short time, Serey returns to find his family. For years Anne hears no news, so she finally travels to the devastated country herself in search of answers.

"It took 50 or so pages for me to get into this book, then it grabbed me by the throat and became an intense, quick, can not put it down afternoon read. Sultry, horrifying, beautifully engulfing. Whew.... "

The Disappeared Listener Reviews

" beautifully rendered. could not stop reading and wanting a fairytale ending. no such luck. "
— Leslie, 5/3/2011 -
" I liked the unusual setting, Cambodia, and the realities of life in the last 30 years. I found the main character's obsession with her "true" love unrealistic and terribly unhealthy. "

" 2009 Giller Short List. A tale of a Montreal Woman and her Cambodian lover that takes the reader from Canada to the Killing Fields of Pol Pot. A very worthwhile read! "
— Greg, 4/13/2011 -
" Feeling too cheery? Then this is the book for you. All the elements of a feel-good book - child soldiers, miscarriage, loss, death, Pol Pot, refugees, torture. "
— Rebecca, 4/10/2011 -
" Just awesome! Very sad, you will cry buckets! "
— Katrina, 4/6/2011 -
" Eipä voi sanoa kovin iloiseksi lukemiseksi. "
— Katri, 4/3/2011 -
" pretty good. the stark writing style made it more real somehow, as if your reading the narrators thoughts as opposed to being told the story. "
