A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea
by Masaji Ishikawa
This is an incredible, overwhelming, harrowing book. I couldn't put it down, but I could also barely bear to keep going. It would have five stars, but I couldn't quite manage to give it five stars because it's just so devoid of hope or light. I've looked into it, but I haven't found any updates on the man or his family. I hope he finds peace.
I can't critique this book any more than this, as it is such a frank portrayal of someone's tragic life. It should be required reading.
