The Rent Collector

by

Camron Wright

Auntie is Sang Ly’s aunt and Uncle Keo’s wife, who gives her, Ki, and Nisay a place to stay while they are in Prey Veng to see the Healer. In a brief conversation, Auntie reminds Sang Ly that even though she does not like Stung Meanchey, it is her home and where her community and Mother are, and is thus a precious place.
