I’m almost done with Without You There Is No Us and will start Our Wives Under the Sea next. WYTINU is interesting. The author kind of hints at parallels between Christianity and the N. Korean regime, since the school she is working for is funded by Christian evangelicals so her coworkers are missionaries, though ofc they aren’t allowed to promote their religion to the students or even practice it openly. I have read a couple of autobiographies by N. Korean defectors and it’s interesting to now see a westerner’s impressions from the inside. Her family was split during the war and eventually came to America so she has a unique perspective.
