Before starting Masaji Ishikawa’s memoir, I thought I understood how brutal North Korea’s totalitarian rule was…and is. Now, I realize it is worse than I could have imagined.

This was such a sad read. Sheds light on what the author’s family has endured which is only a fraction of untold stories of North Korean natives and returnees. Felt like I was mourning the author’s loss in every chapter I read.
