Summary
Survival for Ki Lim and Sang Ly is a daily battle at Stung Mean Chey, 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 working. Just when things seem worst, Sang Ly learns a secret about the ill-tempered rent collector who comes demanding money - a secret that sets in motion a tide that will change the life of everyone it sweeps past. The Rent Collector is a story of hope, of one woman's journey to save her son and another woman's chance at redemption. It demonstrates that even in a dump in Cambodia - perhaps especially in a dump in Cambodia - everyone deserves a second chance.

Unusual story
This was an unusual story so made it interesting. The first two thirds were amazing. I couldn’t put it down. However, the last third was dragged out and a bit disappointing

An unexpected story in an unexpected place
I really enjoyed this book, perhaps because I am an English teacher myself. I loved learning about Cambodia, experiencing the intense emotions along with the characters, the irony and metaphors in the book, and I appreciated the idea of joy found in simplicity.
