Description
A powerful and moving stand-alone novel for anyone who loved A GATHERING LIGHT or BETWEEN SHADES OF GREY, in which a teenage girl struggles against the odds for survival in a North Korean prison camp… From the author of A Brighter Fear.
Yoora is a teenage girl living in North Korea, dreaming of the lights of foreign cities while eking out a miserable existence in a rural northern village. But then she makes a mistake: she falls in love. With someone far removed from her social class. Someone dangerous to know.
When tongues start to wag, her father is executed and she is taken to a prison camp in the mountains. There, escape seems even further from her grasp.
But Yoora is about to learn an important lesson: love can surprise you, and it can come in many forms…
