Book: Your Republic is Calling You

I'm guessing everyone was beginning to wonder if I even remember how to read or to use this blog site.

Truth be known, I know and remember both.

I also wish I had more time for both.

Finally finished this story about a North Korean 'spy' living in South Korea for decades before being called back and the processes he goes through in deciding when, how and if he'll return.

From my Goodreads:

Your Republic Is Calling YouYour Republic Is Calling You by Young-ha Kim

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


An interesting read especially while living in South Korea. Fascinating thoughts and possibilities regarding the lives of North Korean spies living in South Korea for 20 years before hearing anything from the North. I really enjoyed the perspectives offered - I have nothing to compare the stories too so I'm not sure on their accuracy regarding experience but many aspects seemed possible regarding what I've learned of Korean culutre at large and the relationship between the nations as it now stands.
