Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick

5.0

Very engaging and informative. I couldn’t stop listening and wanted to know more and more about the lives shared in this book. The most interesting topic for me was that those who survive are often not “good” people, but those willing to fight for themselves to stay alive by any means necessary, yet that requirement to have to fight for themselves also doesn’t make them bad people.
