In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers

4.0

4.5/5: ‘In Order To Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom’ is an Ageless-based, Biological Memoir by Yeonmi Park; following the childhood of Yeon-Mi Park, the events described depict the hardship of being a North Korean citizen - a mental; physical; and emotional battle. Yeon-Mi is the epitome of an inspiration, and the definition of a resilient human-being. I cannot begin to fathom the experience. An educational masterpiece, worthy of every award; a defector biography that brings light to the isolated nation - providing insight into the political nature of the country. I highly recommend reading, however, heavy topics including: rape, and death are presented, be cautious - 5/5.
