Recensione:
“Remarkable. . . . A story of quiet humanity in the midst of overwhelming inhumanity.”
—The Christian Science Monitor
“A psychologically affecting portrait of desire and guilt. . . . A scathing reminder of the perils that communism continues to wreak in pockets across the world.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“This brave book, written in starkly vivid prose, is timely on several levels. . . . We seldom get a window into North Korean lives. The view is painful, but well worth it.”
—The Free Lance-Star
“Evanescent.... [Shows] the beauty and power of the ginseng root, the respect of the hunter for the thing he hunts.”
—Los Angeles Times
