As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee was one of millions trapped by a secretive and brutal communist regime. Her home on the border with China gave her some exposure to the world beyond the confines of the Hermit Kingdom and, as the famine of the 1990s struck, she began to wonder, question and to realise that she had been brainwashed her entire life. Given the repression, poverty and starvation she witnessed surely her country could not be, as she had been told "the best on the planet"? Aged seventeen, she decided to escape North Korea. She could not have imagined that it would be twelve years before she was reunited with her family.Girl with Seven Names, TheNonfictionOverDriveBiography & AutobiographyOverDrivePoliticsOverDriveBiography & autobiographyPolitical scienceBiographyNonfiction.Biography & Autobiography.Politics.951.93043092BIO022000BIO026000POL035000POL042030bisacshLee Hyeonseo1774933John DavidothDunn JosieothAUDIO9910148866103321The girl with seven names4288463UNINA
