Dogs at the Perimeter - Madeleine Thien

This novel is set in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge period.  A very interior novel, with the main character undergoing almost a form of madness after her experiences during the regime's emptying of Phnom Pen.  It seems this is Thien's theme, regime traumas of the east Asia?  Her writing reminds me of Ondaatje - the same weaving back and forth between a traumatic past and a stable present, and an inability to find a place of peace between the two.
