EVENT DETAILS
Vaddey Ratner - In the Shadow of the Banyan

When the Khmer Rouge held power in Cambodia between 1975 and ’79, the regime oversaw the deaths of some two million people. If you were one of the survivors, how do you tell such a story? Ratner, age five when the nightmare began, retains a child’s perspective for her first novel, letting the fictional Raami recount her brutal experiences in graceful, heartbreaking—and ultimately inspiring prose.
