Anonymous wrote:This book is NOT about the Vietnam or Korean wars but I'm posting it because it is a fabulous novel about a related area of the world -- The Rent Collector by Camron Wright. It is work of historical fiction based on the documentary River of Victory. The book is about a family who lives in Stung Meanchey, a municipal trash dump in Phnom Penh Cambodia, just after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. The family rents their home in the dump and they make their living scavenging the trash for recyclables.
Ignore my post everyone who only want names of Vietnam and Korean war books!
I’ve read this book and agree it is very good.
Pachinko is a good book about Korean-Japanese relations but it takes place mostly in Japan.
