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