Her tales span decades and continents, recounting experiences as a slave, escape artist, murderer, terrorist, spy, lover, and mother. The stories, set in WWII Indonesia, Busan during the Korean War, and Cold War Pyongyang, are so varied and extraordinary that their veracity is questioned. This compelling novel explores themes of love, war, deceit, betrayal, identity, and the trickery essential for survival.
