Summary

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 very heart of their struggle lies the pain of losing their only child. To fill the terrible hole in their lives, they take in abandoned gils - 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.
