Dogs at the Perimeter, Paperback/Madeleine Thien

A powerful and starkly beautiful novel about Cambodia, from an award-winningCanadian writer. As absorbing as it is important, it addresses one of the most horrifying events of the 20th century, the Khmer Rouge, told through the eyes of a child. 'A moving, densely poetic narrative which implicitly asks us to consider the essence of who we are' }Metro{
