À propos de cet audio

 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The most riveting TED talk ever." (Oprah)
"This is a powerful story of an escapee from North Korea. In the hallowed meeting rooms of the United Nations in New York, ambassadors from North Korea recently sought to shout down stories like this. But these voices will not be silenced. Eventually freedom will be restored. History will vindicate Hyeonseo Lee and those like her for the risks they ran so that their bodies and their minds could be free. And so that we could know the truth." (Michael Kirby, chair of the UN commission on human rights abuses in North Korea)

"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)

Very engaging recount of one young woman’s journey from North Korea to ultimately freedom. She explains many questions I’ve wondered, like why do NKs put up with such human rights abuses? Because they have no concept of what human rights are! And why would anyone want to go back to NK?

Worth the read and I know I will reread again, probably soon!

Excellent story of a brave but naïve survivor.

The story being told is amazing. I would have much preferred a different narrator, as Josie Dunn is quite clearly British and none of the people in the story are.

Strange narrator choice

This woman's story is absolutely gripping. The strength, wit and willpower that she didn't even know she had is something to be admired. This is slightly different than most North Korean defectors story. Hyeonseo spent most of her life outside North Korea but still has to struggle with her life and hide her identity. It's an interesting side to see that just escaping North Korea is not enough to be free or accepted.

Amazing

Gives a good idea what North Korean life is like. Also a great look inside the secret life of defectors.

Hard to imagine this girl actually made it and that the world tolerates the existence of such a cruel country.

incredible story beautifully told.
