Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick

5.0

I'm literally crying right now.

I did not expect this book to change my life, let's just say that.

I highly recommend it for anyone wondering what life in North Korea is like. It's a true story: a compilation of the stories of many people who defected (left) North Korea.

It made me rethink every time I have ever criticized my own life. No matter how bad things can be, at least I have never experienced any of the horrors or trauma these people had in their lives.
