"Portrays the struggles of a Cambodian farming family against the extreme patriarchal attitudes of their society and the cruel and dictatorial family father, set against a rural community that is slowly being exposed to the modern world and its values. The book spans the period from 1973, just before the Khmer Rouge genocide, to 2015"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Chapters divided by family member is not my favorite way of telling a story. It breaks up, for me, a cohesive whole. Each chapter also deals with a different, subject, problem that kept any one thing from being fully explored. The Cambodian culture does come across, in the background of the stories. One gets a clear picture of the powerlessness of women, who are unable to make their own decisions.
A sliver of hope does emerge in the final telling of the youngest daughter, who manages to take minimal control of her own life. It was for the most part interesting reading, I just wanted a more thorough picture.
