But to me, it just echoed of The Killing Fields. I could not get the images out of my head from that movie when I was reading this. The very cool thing was that Tatiana actually called into our book club and chatted with us. I was elated.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-26459632883502205822014-05-23T10:23:03.415-04:002014-05-23T10:23:03.415-04:0052booksorbust - It was on my shelf for awhile too!...52booksorbust - It was on my shelf for awhile too!
