Reviews
Lightman infuses Cambodian culture naturally among his considered dissections of pain. Readers will be moved by this collection's navigation of deeply personal heartaches and lingering implications of war., Three Flames is a rich and poignant story of family, revenge, and redemption. With keen insight into the human heart, Lightman has written a deeply moving, multilayered story that resonates long after it's over., [An] intimate examination of a Cambodian family's post-Khmer Rouge lives, driven by survival, redeemed by resilience., Burrows into the complexity of the Cambodian way of life, with its intricate maze of memories, dreams, and ghosts and reveals an aching for love and acceptance that is universal., Lightman's novel gives readers a family that is rich in stories, history, and heart, proving in the end that love shines even in the midst of great darkness., Lightman stints neither in sympathy nor honesty, and this deceptively slim volume is a salute to that most cunning of human capacities: endurance.

Unabridged edition
Synopsis
From the internationally bestselling author of Einstein's Dreams comes a deeply compelling story about the lives of a Cambodian familyset between 1973, just before the Cambodian Genocide by the Khmer Rougeto 2015. The stories of one Cambodian family are intricately braided together in Alan Lightman's haunting Three Flames, his first work of fiction in six years. Three Flames portrays the struggles of a Cambodian farming family against the extreme patriarchal attitudes of their society and the cruel and dictatorial father, set against a rural community that is slowly being exposed to the modern world and its values. A mother must fight against memories of her father's death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, and her powerful desire for revenge. A daughter is married off at sixteen to a wandering husband and his domineering aunt; another daughter is sent to the city to work in the factories to settle her father's gambling debt. A son dreams of marrying the most beautiful girl of the village and escaping the life of a farmer. And the youngest daughter bravely challenges her father so she can stay in school and strive for a better future. A vivid story of revenge and forgiveness, of a culture smothering the dreams of freedom, and of tradition against courage, Three Flames grows directly from Lightman's work as the founder of the Harpswell Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance a new generation of female leaders in Cambodia and all of Southeast Asia., From the internationally bestselling author of Einstein's Dreams comes a deeply compelling story about the lives of a Cambodian familyset between 1973, just before the Cambodian Genocide by the Khmer Rougeto 2015.

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
