In the Shadow of the Banyan by Vaddey Ratner

In her compelling debut, Vaddey Ratner paints a vivid picture of great loss, tragedy and hope during the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s. With stunning imagery and poetic grace, Ratner fictionalizes her own personal journey of endurance through the innocent and imaginative eyes of the novel's lovable seven-year-old heroine, Raami.
