what's inside her book she writes about? reflection of a khmer soul does not tell much when you said she does not even know anything about the regime she lived under.
a lot of khmer authors like leung ung, theary seng, and many more wrote their memoirs, but i prefer to read the memoir of dr. haing ngor, a cambodian actor instead. from his book i seem to know some about life in khmer rouge.
