Happy Saturday, bookworms!
This month, we took on our first non-fiction book, a memoir from the now 28-year-old North Korean defector and activist, Yeonmi Park. Published in 2015, Yeonmi tells the story of the first 22 years of her life - from her first 13 years growing up in North Korea as it was consumed by famine, to fleeing over the border to China where she and her mother fell into the hands of human traffickers, and finally, to escaping to South Korea by traversing through the Gobi desert through the night in search of a better life.
Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about all that Yeonmi so generously shared with her readers: Her childhood, the adversities faced in China, and the heartbreaking reality of life with newfound freedom.
Join us in the all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub. Or, if you’re after some variety, here’s a link to record a voice message via our website, too.
