After They Killed Our Father by Loung Ung
Presents a story which helps us understand what happens when a family is torn apart by politics, adversity and war.
"Heart-rending and eloquent.. A moving reminder of human resiliency and the power of family bonds" Newsweek "A rich narrative that explores the ravages of war and strength of family bonds ... far too relevant to our own time" -- Amnesty International "Change the names of the characters, give them another country of origin, and this story of dislocation becomes a tragedy millions of immigrants have lived through but seldom talk about" Washington Post "Both stories - Loung's told in her own voice and Chou's narrated in the third person - are inherently fascinating and are recounted with a vividness and immediacy that make them even more so. Written with an engaging vigour and directness, [After They Killed Our Father] is an unforgettable portrait of resilience and largeness of spirit" Los Angeles Times
