Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

A powerful new novel by the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of Certainty and Simple Recipes.

Madeleine Thien's intricate and moving new novel confirms her place as one of the most exciting young novelists in Canada. A Montreal woman searches for her friend, Hiroji, a neurologist, and the story of his and his brother's past unlocks buried memories of Cambodia, of her separation from her family under the Khmer Rouge, and of her harrowing journey of escape from the camp where her mother and brother were taken with others. This is a layered novel about displacement, loss, rich with intertwining stories and lives that forms a universal story of war and its legacies and ultimate redemptions.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

One starless night Janie's childhood was swept away by the terrors of the Khmer Rouge. Exiled from Phnom Penh, Janie and her family were forced to live out in the open: cold, hungry and under constant surveillance. Caught up in a political storm which brought starvation to millions, tore families apart and changed the world forever, Janie lost everyone she loved. Now, three decades later, Janie's life in Montreal is unravelling and she must finally confront the demons of her past. Weaving together the threads of Janie's life, Dogs at the Perimeter evokes totalitarianism through the eyes of a little girl, and draws a remarkable map of the mind's battle with memory, loss and the horrors of war.
