josefinceh's review against another edition
3.5
The girl with seven names is about the authors life in North korea, how she escaped and, how she came back to get her mother and brother out as well.
The story gets you hooked quickly as Lee describes her childhood in North Korea. She goes into great detail both about the happy times as well as the fear and paranoia that is so deeply ingrained in their culture. Throughout the book she gives you just enough of a hint for you to see where things might be going but still keeps you at the edge of your seat to see what will happen.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although I did find the writing to be a little bit stocky (possibly due to the translation).
Moderate: Death and Murder
Minor: Sexual assault, Rape, Police brutality, Trafficking, and Suicide
