Two years later, an American couple travelled to Shaoyang to adopt a Chinese toddler they thought had been abandoned. Their understanding had been that Chinas brutal one-child policy was leading to hundreds of abandoned girls, desperate for the care of adopted parents. What they didnt know - and what award-winning journalist Barbara Demick uncovered in 2007, while working as a correspondent in Beijing - was that their daughter had been snatched from her beloved family and her identical twin. Under Chinas one-child policy hundreds of poor Chinese were giving up their children due to soaring fines and threats of violence. More sinister still, international demand for adoptees was sky-rocketing, and local officials were forcibly seizing children and trafficking them to orphanages, who were selling them abroad.</p><p><em>Daughters of the Bamboo Grove</em> tells the gripping story of separated twins, their respective fates in China and the USA, and Barbara Demicks role in reuniting them against huge odds. Painting a rich portrait of Chinas history and culture, it asks questions about the roots, impact and consequences of Chinas one-child policy, the ethics of international adoption, and, ultimately, the assumptions and narratives we hold about the quality of lives lived in the East and the West.</p>...7142118Daughters of the Bamboo Grove579579https://www.gandhi.com.mx/daughters-of-the-bamboo-grove-9781803512976/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7132696/image.jpg?v=638829388869000000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20259781803512976_W3siaWQiOiJjOWI1N2Q5NC0yNjgyLTQ2YmYtODA5ZC02NGY4NzVkOGJjMjIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU3OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NTc5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNS0wNi0wNVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9781803512976_<p>In 2000, a Chinese woman gave birth to twins in a bamboo grove, trying to avoid detection by the government because she already had two daughters.
