A Thousand Miles to Freedom: My Escape from North Korea by Eunsun Kim

4.0

---

I have been reading a lot of books about North Korea. I think most of us know about the dictators there, threat of nuclear war, but I think many of us forget about the people and their plight and all that they have endured.

We can’t turn a blind eye. I thank the author for being brave enough to share her story and wish her the best.

Warnings: instances of violence and hunger and language.

This book is a heartbreaking read but one that we owe it to humanity to bear witness to.

Recommend.
