It is a good story overall, but quite sad.
Somewhere in China a violent older husband, his young mute wife and two daughters suddenly turn up at an isolated village on a mountain to live - only 6 months later he accidentally dies in a dynamite explosion set to kill badgers.
As the story unfolds we get to understand how he actually ended up being married to her and what happens after his death as the real truth unravels bit by bit.
Some really don't have a chance or fair shot at life - it is made worse when that choice is taken away from them because of being so vulnerable, too young or taken advantage of by people that have no conscience.
Would highly recommend!
