Once in China, Dae-hyun finds he doesn’t want to leave, even if he’d be staying as an illegal citizen and an orphan. He accepts the job and is charged with delivering medicine across the frozen Yalu river. He’s offered a job which would pay well and send him to China-at the cost of endangering his life. Soon, Dae-hyun longs to leave his country and journey to China, where there is hot running water and readily available food. Dae-hyun realizes his mother isn’t coming back, so he tries to survive by stealing coal and food. Dae-hyun, the protagonist, is only fourteen when his father is arrested and his mother journeys to Pyongyang to save her husband. I Escaped North Korea is an informative book about the struggles North Koreans faced during 2007.
I 'm happy to have Elliott Kurta back for another book review. Since he's enjoying the opportunity to read and review a variety of books, you can look forward to more of his reviews in the future.
