A young Korean girl survives the oppressive Japanese and Russian occupation of North Korea during the 1940s. Times are tough for 10 year old Sookan and her family. They live in North Korea, and their region has been taken over by the cruel Japanese military during WWII. Close to starvation, the residents work to the bone and are constantly terrorized. Their possessions have been taken and destroyed, along with their traditions. Sookan has to go to a Japanese school where she will get in trouble if she speaks Korean. When the war ends, things don’t improve. Now the Russians have moved in, and brainwash residents into a revival, asking for converts to Communism, and to report anyone who speaks against the regime. Sookan and her remaining family members make plans to sneak away to the south, where they think Sookan’s father must be. This account, based on the life of the author, is full of the horrible details of war – oppression, starvation, death, loss, and seemingly no hope. Readers will hold their breath to find out if Sookan and her brother make it through the barbed wire fences and into South Korea! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
