Book Reviews of When Broken Glass Floats: Growing Up Under the Khmer Rouge
Book Review: A worthy addition to the canon of KR-related books.
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has read other Khmer Rouge surivors' accounts will find themselves on painfully familiar territory. Like Molyda Szymusiak's "The Stones Cry Out", this book tells of an intelligent, middle class girl whose adolescence is blighted by Pol Pot (and of course the foreign supporters who shamefully helped him along or turned blind eyes).It is a well written, horrifying story of the nightmare that was 70s Cambodia.
