Product Information
Survival for Ki Lim and Sang Ly is a daily battle at Stung Meanchey, the largest municipal waste dump in all of Cambodia. They make their living scavenging recyclables from the trash. Life would be hard enough without the worry for their chronically ill child, Nisay, and the added expense of medicines that are not really working. Just when things seem most bleak, Sang Ly learns a secret about the hated, ill-tempered woman, the "the rent collector"-she can read Reluctantly she agrees to teach Sang Ly and does so with the same harshness she applied to her collection duties until they both learn how literacy has the power to instill hope and transcend circumstance.Based on a true story, set in the abject poverty of Cambodia against the backdrop of political oppression and the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge.

Reviews
"Working as "pickers," Sang Ly and her husband, Ki Lim, earn their living by sifting through the trash at Stung Meanchey, Cambodia's large city dump...An unlikely friendship blossoms between the two women, and Sang Ly learns that the Rent Collector's gruff exterior hides unspeakable personal tragedies and a life shattered by the Khmer Rouge. Undergirding Sang Ly's literary journey is the support and care of the Stung Meanchey community, illustrating how beauty can be found in even the ugliest of places. Drawn from the real lives of the residents of Stung Meanchey, this is a beautifully told story about the perseverance of the human spirit and the importance of standing up for what is right. This inspirational multicultural story will strike a chord with teen readers.", Through Sang Ly and the rent collector, readers will discover a wealth of insights: the lingering ravages of war, the common bonds of humanity, and the uplifting power of literature., The written word offers hope for a brighter future in Wright's fact-based new novel. Wright's book...shimmers.

Wonderful read!
We read the Rent Collector in out book club. Its one if those books you font want to put down! The characters and families were able to stay together by picking thru trash and selling recycleable items. How sad, living in a dump! One small part in the book that keeps coming back is about a broken clock Ki brought home. Sang Ly treasured that clock and mentioned she would get it fixed someday even though it would be cheaper to get a new one. Broken things, as broken people are worthy of being fixed and nit discarded. learning to read opens a whole new world for Sang Ly and those around her. i ourchased the documentary the book is 'based on' and am looking firward ti wstching it eith our book club!!!! We so take living in the USA !!!!

The Rent Collector
This was such an awesome, well written book. It's so sad to believe that the setting for this book was a real place! I thought about the content for days and cried reading the last pages!

Easy read.
It was interesting to read about the life of people in Stung Meanchey. It wasn't so compelling that you couldn't put it down. It did, however, get more interesting half way through. Would recommend for a quick read.
