The story comes through so naturally – the narrator not hesitating to let true statements of the heart come through when need be – that, by the end of the novel, I felt as if this was a story told to me personally by a good friend.Įchlin takes you on a journey with the narrator, Anne, through thirty years of her life, starting in Montreal, where she meets and falls in love with a young man, Serey, from Cambodia, to the devastating, war-torn streets of Phonm Penh as she looks for him after he “disappears” from Montreal to look for his family, to her life years after she is forced to return to Canada. The novel The Disappeared, by Kim Echlin, is one that defines how love can surpass not only generations but countries as well.
