NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An extraordinary insight into life under
one of the world's most ruthless and secretive dictatorships - and
the story of one woman's terrifying struggle to avoid
capture/repatriation and guide her family to freedom. As a child
growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee was one of millions trapped
by a secretive and brutal communist regime. Her home on the border
with China gave her some exposure to the world beyond the confines
of the Hermit Kingdom and, as the famine of the 1990s struck, she
began to wonder, question and to realise that she had been
brainwashed her entire life. Given the repression, poverty and
starvation she witnessed surely her country could not be, as she
had been told "the best on the planet"? Aged seventeen, she decided
to escape North Korea. She could not have imagined that it would be
twelve years before she was reunited with her family.
