"Seh-Lynn and Jihyun Park offer us proof that compassion and intelligence triumph over obscurantism and brutality. An essential message in our troubled world." Isabelle Autissier
North Korea is an open-air prison from which no one can escape. Only a handful of men and women have managed to escape, and Jihyun Park is one of these rare survivors... Written by her fellow South Korean Seh-Lynn, Jihyun Park delivers a poignant account.
From a carefree childhood to prison, through the terrible famine of the early 1990s, her story is a lesson in life and willpower, sober and without pathos. This sensitive voice was born from an exchange and a dialogue between two women who are complete opposites but united by the hope of one day seeing the two Koreas live together in peace.

A very good book that I highly recommend. It is one of the rare testimonies on North Korea, we learn a lot and things that were passed over in silence and that I did not know. What happened during the famine, all the bonds that were broken to not unite the people, how Jihyun escaped and all the trials she went through. It is a poignant, revolting and sad story. To say that this book is the story of one person (in this case Jihyun) and that all these tragedies still continue today in North Korea is terrible. To read.
