Daughters of the Bamboo Grove

Barbara Demick

This volume tells the moving story of the reunification of two identical twins, the cultural divide between them as a result of the forced adoption of one twin by Chinese authorities, and the effects of the separation on both girls and on their families. Along the way, Barbara delves into China's recent historical and political situation, telling the story of its brutal one-child policy, which came into effect in 1979, and the corruption and trafficking of children that emerged as a result.
