Without You, There Is No Us: My secret life teaching the sons of North Korea's elite by Suki Kim
challenging
emotional
tense
slow-paced
3.5
✨ Thrifted ✨
Definitely not my favourite book I think I’ve ever read; it was very bitty in parts and boring in others (not because of the content, but the way in which it was written). However, Suki Kim does note that this was to get a rare perspective of a Korean-American person having a teaching career in North Korea. The taboo element did feel thrilling in some parts as well, and so I applaud her effort! 👏🏼
The missionary presence at this university also shook me up 😳
3.5 out of 5 stars for me ✨ Thank you!
