Description
Princess Bari by Hwang Sok-yong is a deeply moving novel inspired by a Korean legend and set against the backdrop of North Korea’s devastating 1990s famine.

Forced to flee her homeland, she embarks on a perilous journey through China and eventually reaches Europe in search of safety and belonging.
