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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\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.
