'I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.'

Yeonmi Park was not dreaming of freedom when she escaped from North Korea. She didn't even know what it meant to be free. All she knew was that she was running for her life, that if she and her family stayed behind they would die - from starvation, or disease, or even execution.

This book is the story of Park's struggle to survive in the darkest, most repressive country on earth; her harrowing escape through China's underworld of smugglers and human traffickers; and then her escape from China across the Gobi desert to Mongolia, with only the stars to guide her way, and from there to South Korea and at last to freedom; and finally her emergence as a leading human rights activist - all before her 21st birthday.

Review

Clear-eyed and devastating (Observer)

One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring . . . A book to make you newly thankful for the freedom you have never been forced to fight for. (The Bookseller)

An eloquent, wrenchingly honest work that vividly represents the plight of many North Koreans (Kirkus)

A 'can't put down' read

22 April 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A brilliant, gutwrenching, impossible to stop reading memoir. I learnt so much more about North Korea and life after that dreadful existence for it's defectors. A book that will open people's hearts to refugees from any oppressive and dangerous countries and reinforce how lucky those of us are to know nothing of such suffering and desperation first hand. The fortunate should always show compassion and help the unfortunate.....there but for the Grace of God....

Amazing Story

5 February 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

We need books like this to be read in our schools and universities so that everyone can understand the horrors that still go on in this world in places such as North Korea today in this world where so many take life and pleasure as their right. This is an amazing true story of a very courageous young girl. It made me cry but also gave me so much pleasure to see what she has achieved. You are an incredible young lady Yeonmi Park. Thank you for telling your story.

I really enjoy reading this book. It was so interesting and sad at the same time. Really opened my eyes about how North Korea's life is at the moment and what people have to do to escape.

Excellent story of a brutal regime conquered by a young girl

From start to finish this story held my attention - the brutality the author, her family and most of the general population of North Korea endure is something which is difficult to comprehend. Beautifully written and deeply enjoyed.
