Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick

challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

5.0

An incredible, though difficult, read, this look into life in North Korea as told by its defectors is a rich and fascinating portrait of a world staggeringly different from our own. I especially appreciated the afterward to the new edition, with the latest updates on the people we had come to root for.
