After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America.

As North Korea's State Poet Laureate, Jang Jin-sung led a charmed life. With food provisions (even as the country suffered through its great famine), a travel pass, access to strictly censored information, and audiences with Kim Jong-il himself, his life in Pyongyang seemed safe and secure. But this privileged existence was about to be shattered. When a strictly forbidden magazine he lent to a friend goes missing, Jang Jin-sung must flee for his life.

Histoire
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 countrywide famine escalated. By the time she was 11 years old, Eunsun's father and grandparents had died of starvation, and Eunsun too was in danger of starving. Finally her mother decided to escape North Korea with Eunsun and her sister.

Histoire
It has been proclaimed many times, but perhaps never more convincingly than now, when every news cycle seems to deliver further confirmation of a world gone mad. Is this the endgame? Author Spencer Klavan is a classicist, with a Ph.D. from Oxford, and a deep understanding of the West. His analysis: The situation is dire. But every crisis we face today, we have faced before. And we can surmount each one. Klavan brings to the West’s defense the insights of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and the Founding Fathers to show that in the wisdom of the past lies hope for the future.

Description
In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea - and to freedom.
Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park’s testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." (The Bookseller)
“Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again.” (Publishers Weekly)

An Amazing Story of Survival and Resilience
I have to say, this is an amazing and fast-paced story of life in North Korea, the author and her family’s escape to China and eventually to South Korea through Mongolia. It also details her life after her escape, adjusting to the “21st century” as she refers to it.
I give this book 5 stars because of the story and authentic performance - also it is an insiders look at North Korea.
For those who did not like the narrator - I think there is a fine balance between being over dramatic and monotone. My perspective in this case is that she struck the right balance - an overly dramatic tone would have come across as campy/corny.
For those who did not like the narrator because of her accent - I actually think the accent of the narrator (a mix of a British and Asian accent) added further authenticity to the story. I think the story would have seemed fake and some of the serious parts would have been less impactful had the narrator had a traditional Western Canadian/American accent.
I bring this up because I almost did not buy the book given the poor reviews re: the narration - which I think are unfounded - for those who are hesitant, the Audible sample provides an excellent example of what the listener can expect.

I just finished the whole book. It is so painful and melancholy but I listened to it because I took it as my responsibility to listen to it when so many have to live through it. It truly makes me grateful for all that I have. Thank you, Park Yeonmi. Thank you for being brave and telling your story. I will never forget it.

Regardless of your Political leanings. Listen!
It took some Communist bot on Instagram to slander her. In order for me to ask "What is her story?" Listening to her was an awakening about the realities and wrong assumptions about China & North Korea. Despite what the bots said. I heard no lies here.

One of the most important contemporary biographies
This was an astonishing insight into one of the most corrupt countries and the cancerous ideology that is afflicting the rest of the world. I truly consider this woman a role model and I hope her story inspires others.

Shocking and Inspiring
That North Korea can exist in this way in this day and age is criminal on a vast human scale. That the leaders of the world with their billions for other countries have not intentionally infiltrated N. Korea to set these people free is mind boggling.

Inspiring, terrifying…
I truly hope this young woman’s courageous story inspires real, positive change, in both North Korea and the entire world. I am happy for her, proud of her, and want to live to see actual, real change happen in our world for all of our sakes, especially those who are being victimized.
