A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea
by Masaji Ishikawa
Amazing and horrifying read
This was an amazing and horrifying read. It follows a man who “moves” to North Korea, promised free education and the good life. Once there, he is subject to hard work, starvation, and no choice in his own life and future. As I read, I couldn’t believe his hope and perseverance even when Every Single Thing was going wrong. I read this, on my phone, in about 3 hours, and I just couldn’t put it down.
