"In The Shadow of The Banyan" by Vaddey Ratner ****
- Audiobook
- Cambodian author
- Semi-autobiographical
- Originally Published in 2013
- Review: A somber, spiritual, partially auto-biographical story. The daughter of a king in Cambodia survives 4 years in work camps, loses family, loses hope, is tortured and starved. Somehow she survives, and this book is written to memorialize the horrors wrought by the Kmer Rouge. A tough, yet touching read. It is hard to face the cruelties which are wrought, and continue to be wrought in our world, upon fellow humans!
