After the death of the country's great leader Kim Il Sung in 1994, famine descended, and Nothing to Envy - winner of the 2010 BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction - weaves together the stories of adversity and resilience of six residents of Chongin, North Korea's third-largest city. From extensive interviews and with tenacious investigative work, Barbara Demick has recreated the concerns, culture and lifestyles of North Korean citizens in a gripping narrative, and vividly reconstructed the inner workings of this extraordinary and secretive country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977719255206,"sku":"9781847081414","price":17.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9781847081414_1.jpg?v=1656103914","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/nothing-to-envy-9781847081414","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
