big_gav 's review for:
The Orphan Master's Son
by Adam Johnson
I don't remember another book dealing with North Korea, at least not that I've read and whilst this is still a work of fiction, it has the ring of authenticity. Following a number of characters in a non-linear story arc is not for the fainthearted, but is, I feel, worth the effort. A tale of character, of love and loss, of tattoos and birdtraps, of dog training and specialised martial arts, it has something for everyone, but you may need to search for a while. The power of humanity, for good and ill and the reflection of different societies through the eyes of others allows us to consider ourselves, should we choose to do so. Unique and worthwhile, entertaining and enlightening I would commend this to you.
