"Pol Pot's Beautiful Daughter (Fantasy)" by Geoff Ryman

I've had the PDF file on my desktop for ages, but finally got around to reading it this morning.

And I really liked it. I love the setting--Cambodia and just Asia in general doesn't get written about enough--and I loved the characters. The only quibble I have is with the whole untrue story thing, because it felt unnecessary. It was unique, but what's the point of it?

Still, a great story.
