The Orphan Master's Son
by Adam Johnson
A wonderfully written and imaginative novel about the struggle of a man living under the totalitarian regime of North Korea. Though his story is very fantastical at times, reminiscent of Forrest Gump, the book paints a very real portrait of what it's like to live in a country where the dictator is called Dear Leader, work camps abound, and parents cannot even trust their children. The novel is switches between multiple perspectives in part two to explore a variety of themes including love, sacrifice, individuality, and bravery.
