A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea by Masaji Ishikawa

5.0

---

The pacing in this memoir was so good!!! Like I could not put it down! It was heartbreaking in so many parts, showing different parts of the authors life. It had an honest view of what it was like living in North Korea. I mean it shows you so many layers of what happened historically during those years.  The dream that was giving as an incentive for people to move to North Korea, then the reality. 

I need more people to read this.
