FINAL DRAFT OF BOOK REVIEW-
My book is called when broken glass floats by Chanrithy Him. This is a true story that happened to Chanrithy him when she was only a little girl. I really appreciate the fact that she wrote this story about an event that happened years ago when she was only a young girl. This story starts out in Cambodia and the invaders are Khmer rouge. The city they left is year piar.
A family with a bunch of love for their other family members was a great advantage over how they were getting treated. Chanrithy was very worried about her mother during the whole story. Her mother was very sick and needed lots of help.
She was tortured, sick and half dead most of the time and getting old. As you can see she was not in good shape. Not only that but she also had to go through the terror of the camps and deal with the people who went through those camps. Chanrithy him's father was very strong and comforting. He tried to help as much as possible in anything that went wrong but he didn't last very long in the book and died. The uncle poo-seng was a very noble guy as well. Now some other two characters were Ra and Ry. These siblings were very scared during this time in this family’s life. They were all very concerned about each other and needed help from everyone in the family. They were scared most of the time because of the camps. Ra had to marry to stay alive so that she didnt die. Marriage is a long and hard decision that shouldn't take 20 minutes. For Ra this was bad because she was getting forced to marry.
They both tried caring for Chanrithy but most of all needed help instead of helping. Later in the book a character came in to the story that was kinda like a second mother because their mother was dying. She was a nurse; she was very kind to the whole family because of what they are going through in the book.
The whole family had a scary, long, and exhausting journey. They went through hard times and always made sure they stuck together. Chanrithy was a great companion. She gave all she got to survive and make sure her family survived. I recommend this story to readers who like reading long journeys and that like to read about historical events and what happens in wars like this one.
This family went through very hard times and I congratulate Chanrithy for being a great person and helping everyone she could. Hope for the best and hope everyone reads this great long adventure of a family who takes the long journey back to freedom. I recommend this book for a person with their mind wide open and their heart ready for the unexpected to happen.
