The Orphan Master's Son

by Adam Johnson - Fiction, Suspense, Thriller

Part breathless thriller, part story of innocence lost, part story of romantic love, THE ORPHAN MASTER'S SON is also a riveting portrait of a world heretofore hidden from view: a North Korea rife with hunger, corruption and casual cruelty but also camaraderie, stolen moments of beauty and love.
