“I don‘t think I ever felt as close to her as I did that night. Her desperation, her fear, her exhaustion—all of it seeped through her thin clothes and straight into my heart.”
Masaji Ishikawa
A powerful story😔

pickVery interesting book about Kim Yo Jong. Well it is more about North-Korea because there are not too much public informartion about her. But I still missed some parts or fact.
pickThree desperate people fleeing from tragedy, trauma, & betrayal find themselves in a small town in China hiding from the authorities while dreaming of South Korea. Two are fleeing North Korea, one is rediscovering his Korean heritage—their lives collide in a harrowing story about survival, hope, & the belief in impossible dreams. The depiction of life on the China-North Korea border & what it entails for refugees makes for powerful reading.

Excited about today‘s book mail. Tagged book continues my exploration of South Korean literature. Super excited to dive into the latest installment of Spy x Family to see what kind of mischief Anya is up to. Forgotten sisters is a book set in Chicago with a story about ghosts and sisters and other awesomeness. Rules for Rule Breaking is a YA college visit road trip RomCom. Mixed bag, lots of good reading (hopefully).
This is pretty good so far. Heartbreaking, of course
pickWhat a bleak and heartbreaking story! I am glad I read this it definitely is timely read and provides a much needed perspective.
pickIt‘s incredible to think Yeonmi is less than a year older than me. She‘s an incredible human, and has a story of perseverance. The world needs to read this, and see the atrocities of North Korea. You‘re remembered & heard Yeonmi.
