I put half my life on hold over the weekend, for this book – Nothing to Envy.
The stories of life in totalitarian North Korea, as told by defectors to the South, is gripping! The book follows the personal struggles of six main characters, and it also presented the social and historical setting, and major events. It is mostly sad, but also interesting. I was worried this book would be a tear-jerker and almost didn’t read it but I’m so glad I did.
I love this find.
