About the author and her book:
Published by Penguin Canada, this story of passionate love between a Canadian and her Cambodian lover evokes their tumultuous relationship in a world of colliding values. Set against the backdrop of horrific loss, these two self-exiled lovers struggle to recreate themselves in a world that rejects their hopes. Spare, unrelenting, and moving, The Disappeared is an unforgettable consideration of love, language, justice, and memory set against the backdrop of the killing fields of Pol Pot.
After completing her Ph. D. on the subject of Ojibway storytelling, Kim Echlin went in search of stories herself. Her travels took her to China, France, Zimbabwe, and the Marshall Islands. After returning to Canada she became an arts documentary producer with The Journal on CBC, and a writer for various publications. Author of two previous novels, Elephant Winter and Dagmar's Daughter, Kim Echlin presents her third novel, The Disappeared; a story of love and longing with the terrors of Khmer Rouge Cambodia at its heart.
