Catherine,
A very unique and moving insight into North Korea from someone who spent their time in amongst the people (as much as was possible to do so)。 Beautiful, honest pictures taken from the point of view of a woman trying to understand both the joys and restrictions of being a North Korean。 Lindsey’s writing is evocative and moving and I would recommend this book to anyone- to challenge our assumptions and gain a wider understanding of this mysterious country。
