a well of human emotions
‘The book delves into a well of human emotions as she tries to connect with her new home … her photos and anecdotes explore the extent to which honest, genuine relationships can exist under the oppressive scrutiny of a cruel and totalitarian regime, as well as offering a glimpse of genuine curiosity and friendly gestures from the people she encounters.’
Telegraph
a different sort of travelogue
‘Those who would make pronouncements about the place and its people might do well … to have a glance through this book first. Armchair travellers (aren’t we all, these days?) will find this a different sort of travelogue.’

MORE REVIEWS
‘There was much of the North Koreans and their way of life that I liked and admired, and Lindsey Miller’s book brought back those positive feelings. And if we don’t acknowledge those we will never begin to understand the country.’
Michael Palin
‘Paints a vivid picture of communities kept under the close grip of police surveillance, while also unravelling some of the wider misconceptions about North Korean society.’
