Reviews
“You can’t help liking and admiring this young woman. . . . [A] lively, humorous account . . . when you arrive at the hard-earned happy ending, it’s with a sigh of deep relief.” — Washington Post
“Loung Ung makes Lulu in the Sky shimmer with renewal after the Cambodian killing fields” — Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Ung’s writing is clear-headed, honest and compelling; much of what she describes, from the brutalities she and her family endured to the ways it steered her adult life, is deeply affecting.” — Kirkus
