pickAn amazing story of how the author was able to get her mother and brother out of North Korea after living illegally in China for a while. Very honest and eventually having a happy conclusion. Also tells of the extreme kindness of a friendly Australian. A life affirming book.

pickWonderful as always, this was my companion on the 13 hours or so I spent at Jomo Kenyatta airport trying to get home (and on the plane when we still thought we were leaving on time, haha.) The unravelling mystery from the past felt a bit like it had been done before but it was still good. I was super anxious about having packed my other book in my suitcase for some stupid reason.
pickIt looks like I wanted to get away from this book so fast, that I brought it back to the library before I took a picture… oh, this was heavy and made me feel aggrieved. But it‘s not a bad book at all. I gave it five stars exactly because of how it was able to make me feel. But it was a hard read. Especially in times like these.
Starting a new book recommended by a library coworker.
pickGratz has a talent for writing the truth of difficult situations. He weaves several plots together, making the reader care about each. It makes me want to host a refugee family. The audiobook was a great road trip listen.
