I got this at Fictionwise back when I could massage my micropay into real deals. It was heartbreaking.
The part that hit home most to me was the pediatrician when she encounters the dog dish when she first gets to China. After all she'd been through and witnessed, I could see how that bit really was devastating.
Another good book I'd recommend about North Korea is The Aquariums of Pyongang. It doesn't tell as much of North Korea because it's really only the story of one boy and his family, but it is horrific as well.
I like to read something like this when I'm upset or pissed about something in my wonderful life. It makes you realize how lucky you are to have been born in a country that is not North Korea, Afghanistan, etc.
