Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
by Barbara Demick
I wonder if I will always give 5 stars to non-fiction books simply because I learn something new? Just a thought. Yeah for non-fiction (though I love fiction too).
Brad and I both read this for our couple's bookclub. I must admit that I didn't even know the exact location of Korea until reading this book. I was shocked to learn about the conditions in North Korea. I had no idea that people there were starving from a famine just as I was graduating from high school. I didn't realize how they lived, or why they live the way they do. I highly recommend this book. Once I stated I could not put it down. It was fascinating!
