{"product_id":"the-disappeared-9780802170668","title":"The Disappeared","description":"A fiercely beautiful love story for the ages, \u003ci\u003eThe Disappeared\u003c\/i\u003e traces one woman's three-decades-long journey from the peaceful streets of Montreal to the war-torn villages of Cambodia, as a brief affair turns into a grand passion of loss and remembrance, set against one of the most brutal genocides of our time. When sixteen-year-old Anne Greves first meets Serey, a Cambodian student forced to leave his country during the rise of the Khmer Rouge, she never considers the consequences of their complicated romance. Swept up in the infatuation of young love, Anne ignores her father's wishes and embraces her relationship with Serey in Montreal's smoky jazz clubs and in his cramped yellow bedroom. But when the borders of Cambodia are reopened, Serey must risk his life to return home in search of his family. A decade later, Anne will travel halfway around the world to find him, and to save their love from the same tragic forces that first brought them together. In aching, tender prose, Kim Echlin challenges our notions of how to both claim the past of move on after insufferable loss. Part elegy, part love letter, part call to arms, \u003ci\u003eThe Disappeared\u003c\/i\u003e is a soaring tribute to those who have disappeared in the violent conflicts throughout history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Echlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802170668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover Great New Writers - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2009 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/02\/2009 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2009 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2010 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2010 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKim Echlin is the author of \u003ci\u003eDagmar's Daughter \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eElephant Winter\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Torgi Talking Book of the Year Award and was short-listed for the Chapters\/Books in Canada First Novel Award.
