Nonfiction by Hyeonseo Lee
My aunt recommended this book to me when we were talking about "True Harrowing Ordeal" stories. (I recommended The Sound of Gravel to her.)
In this book, the author herself is "the girl with seven names," because she had to change her name several times while escaping North Korea, which is indeed a terrible place. It was very interesting to read about, although difficult and sad of course. Ms. Lee now works to support human rights, and seems like an amazing person.
This was a very good story.
