Über diesen Titel
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.

Kritikerstimmen
"When I first met Hyeonseo Lee, the unflinching manner in which she told her story was inspirational. She experienced hunger, coldness, fear, terror, threats and pursuit. All this she had to endure, simply for being a North Korean refugee. But the one thing that she held on to was her humanity, ever stronger as she continuously sublimated her hardships into hope. This is a sad and beautiful story of a girl who could not even keep her name, yet overcome all with the identity of what it is to be human." (Jang Jin-sung, author of Dear Leader: Poet, Spy, Escapee - A Look Inside North Korea)

Made me cry
Bit slow in the beginning it took me 3 attempts. But probably necessary for everyone who is not well informed about korea and its situation. After the escape starts its fascinating, not too much emotions, but more like a true crime report. The end brought me to tears because of my hope for the korean people to reunite. I pray it will come true like in Germany. When people are ready for it, the miracle will happen.
Very recommendable.

Extremely moving and captivating
I kept eager to know what would happen next, all the way to the very end. This story sparked a deeper interest in the writers' country's history. It captivated me and literally moved me to tears more than once due to some shocking events and how they were handled. Other events were just beautiful. If I could give both the writer and reader more than five stars, I so would!

Highly interesting, captivating and deeply moving
This is by far the best audiobook I have ever listened to. It gives an incredible inside into live in North Korea, the dangerous journey out of it, and life after escaping. I often found myself listening hours at a time because of how captivating the story is. It is also deeply moving to learn about the hardship that North Koreans have to endure not only in their own country but also after escaping. Listening to or reading this book should be mandatory for anyone who works with immigrants or is involved in immigration policy to archive the best possible treatment and integration of immigrants into their new homes.
