Corinne Purtill
In 2004, 34 men, women, and children stepped out of a Southeast Asian rainforest and presented themselves as refugees from violence engulfing their native Cambodia. They did not know that the war they were fleeing had in fact ended - 25 years earlier. Corinne Purtill was one of the first journalists to meet the families upon their incredible return to society. Years later, she returned to Cambodia to learn the truth about their time on the run. What she found was a darker and more complicated tale than the one they first shared, a story of terror, isolation, fierce loyalty, appalling choices, and murder. The result is a story that examines the unyielding human need for family and connection and the meaning of survival.
Corinne Purtill is a journalist who has reported around the world for publications including Quartz, GlobalPost, CNN, Salon and the Cambodia Daily. She lives in California with her family.

The narrator was just so-so. She has some strange intonation quirks that feel a little unnatural but don't quite take away from being able to focus on the story.
The story itself took a little while to figure out what it was doing. The first chapter felt a little scattered (and long), but the second was much tighter and the information flowed more concisely from there on.
The content itself is very interesting. I learned of the Khmer Rouge in school and heard briefly of the cataclysmic upheavals in Southeast Asia in the news, but being immersed in one person's specific story has a very different impact from a mention in a textbook or a minute on the news. Those details, the grassroots eye as opposed to the bird's eye view, truly brings home not just the horrors that people in that part of the world experienced, but also just a very different life, a very different history, and a very different world from the pampered bubble where I live.
