I loved Ratner‘s first novel, In The Shadow of the Banyan. Such a poetic and beautifully written novel about a truly ugly period in Cambodia's history. I am expecting this novel to be just as moving.

An intriguing book by this wonderful author.The cover art is gorgeous drew me right in. @TouchstoneBooks
The title of the book comes very early on. Fleeing Cambodia through the jungle, for the Thailand border, "Out here....there's only music of the ghosts."
My first win from Good Reads I'm so excited!! Do not judge the Christmas tree still peaking out from around the corner. 😩😩😩... He swears it will be gone this weekend.
pickA story that broke my heart & rebuilt it with hope at the same time, it breathes with a beautiful lyricism that took my breath away & brought me fully into the brutality & despair that we humans inflict upon one another; it also helped me see & share in the hope & healing that we share & bring to one another. If you love a book that makes you walk that edge & sings to you of dreams & nightmares that are 2 sides of the same coin, read this.
You know a book is good when it has you crying at work...
The things life is built on...in the face of current events and the weight of history, they can seem like such flimsy things, and yet if we pull together they are strong enough to be the foundation of the world...
My ARC haul from the hotel. It was such a lovely and unexpected gift! Seriously folks, the staff at the Library Hotel are 👌🏼.
Who among us does not bear the burden of survival? This quote made me think of this image that I always found haunting.
