Summary
"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole lives would change." (Buddha)
Coming of age during China’s Cultural Revolution, Benfu survived the cruel years, but he did not emerge unscathed. The Scavenger’s Daughters is the story of Benfu and his beloved wife Calli, chronicling their attempts to build a life in the turmoil and aftermath of Maoist China. At the heart of their struggle lies the pain of losing their only child. To fill the terrible hole in their lives, they take in abandoned girls - the unwanted "weeds" - as their own, lovingly caring for them as flowers in a garden. Linnea, the oldest of the scavenger’s daughters, embarks on a struggle of her own, as she falls in love with the son of a wealthy family.
Inspired by a true story, this poetic tale of modern-day China chronicles Benfu and Calli as they turn their path of hardship into a beautiful field of flowers.

A wonderful story, a descriptive and emotional view of China's poor though rich in love and how they cope with life, did not want it to end. Beautifully read.!

a book that was recommended to me. generally a good listen though quite a bit of repetitive dialogue in parts. looking forward to the next book.
