Translation of: Corée du Nord : 9 ans pour fuir l'enfer.
"Eunsun Kim was born in North Korea, one of the most secretive and oppressive countries in the modern world. As a child Eunsun loved her country--despite her school field trips to public executions, daily self-criticism sessions, and the increasing gnaw of hunger as the country-wide famine escalated ... Her mother decided to escape North Korea with Eunsun and her sister, not knowing that they were embarking on a journey that would take them nine long years to complete ... Now Eunsun is sharing her ... story to give voice to the tens of millions of North Koreans still suffering in silence"-- Provided by publisher.

Inspiring: A Real-Life Story submitted by tappangirl on June 24, 2018, 9:52pm I would have never thought that North Koreans might have escaped from the dictator country, but after reading this book, I realized that it is so. Not only is the story of this young woman inspiring for a young woman like me, it also shows how tough times are for people and yet, they somehow get out of it. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes a good autobiography!
