I was introduced to this book by one of our followers on IG. I read up on the summary and instantly bought the audiobook. In this open and uncensored account, Yeonmi Park shares horrific experiences that no child should have to go through. In the years that most teenagers in the western world are going to school, hanging out with friends and going shopping, Park was sold as a wife to a man way older than her. I was taken on rollercoaster ride where at each peak you hope for Park's freedom, but then learn of the misfortune she receives. But as you're reading this, you're also joining Park on a journey of self-realisation and learning about the real world. I'll be honest, this was not an easy read for me. The horrors of North Korea and the life of a defector is a heavy subject. But at no point did I want to DNF this. I completed the book in parts over two weeks and I'm glad I had the opportunity to listen to/read it.
