I cannot read this book enough times. There is so much substance and power in Yeonmi’s writing and storytelling. II am so grateful to have read about Yeonmi’s life and escape from North Korea.
The narration is steady, clear and easy to understand. I find her voice so soothing which makes the challenging parts of the memoir easier to read.
