The Girl with Seven Names
Hyeonseo Lee • 2015
Devastation Rating
refugee memoir North Korea escape
Our Take
Lee escaped North Korea at seventeen, spent ten years hiding in China, and then went back to smuggle out her family. Each name she took was a new identity, a new lie, a new survival strategy. The memoir reads like a thriller but the stakes are real.
