A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A powerful new novel by the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of Certainty and Simple Recipes.

Madeleine Thien's intricate and moving new novel confirms her place as one of the most exciting young novelists in Canada. A Montreal woman searches for her friend, Hiroji, a neurologist, and the story of his and his brother's past unlocks buried memories of Cambodia, of her separation from her family under the Khmer Rouge, and of her harrowing journey of escape from the camp where her mother and brother were taken with others. This is a layered novel about displacement, loss, rich with intertwining stories and lives that forms a universal story of war and its legacies and ultimate redemptions.
