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.
She could not return, since rumours of her escape were spreading, and she and her family could incur the punishments of the government authorities – involving imprisonment, torture, and possible public execution. Hyeonseo instead remained in China and rapidly learned Chinese in an effort to adapt and survive. Twelve years and two lifetimes later, she would return to the North Korean border in a daring mission to spirit her mother and brother to South Korea, on one of the most arduous, costly and dangerous journeys imaginable.
This is the unique story not only of Hyeonseo’s escape from the darkness into the light, but also of her coming of age, education and the resolve she found to rebuild her life – not once, but twice – first in China, then in South Korea. Strong, brave and eloquent, this memoir is a triumph of her remarkable spirit.

用户评价
Unsurprisingly, Hyeonseo's personal account reads like blood-boiling crime fiction. Not only does this book manage to debunk the disgusting lies the North Korean regime has been imposing onto its people and reveal its dark side to the world, it also tells us that life can change for the better if we try hard enough. 4 stars.
评分作者脱北其实不是因为迫害或饥荒，一次任性的鸭绿江对岸几日游迫使她最终离开朝鲜。一个精明而坚强的女人所能成就的，是她自己和家人的自由。她在脱北路上的行贿，谎言和算计，一开始看着很不舒服，但是回到朝鲜带给她的阴影大背景下，又感到很心酸。
评分据说脱北者的一部分人都出版过各种书籍，买不到的情况下，朋友赠出。文笔一般，作者太聪明，传奇的经历恐怕其他脱北者不能一一效仿
评分前1/4比较无聊，积读了两个月，作者逃到中国后的故事才开始精彩起来，两天读完。真的佩服作者的应变能力，天时地利人和的传奇。另外对大寒冥国的好感继续drop-歧视朝鲜人，歧视别国朝鲜族人，歧视中国人，就棒国宇宙第一。PS这书大陆肯定出版不了了
评分虽然每每对作者晒童年的苦难而不屑（因为似曾相识），但掩卷而思，还是对某些人生的波澜壮阔而唏嘘不已。
