ResumoIn his stunning novel of the suffering, paranoid country of North Korea, wherein all normal relationship is constantly at risk, Adam Johnson creates a compelling story of a relationship that becomes essentially heroic. An orphaned child in cruel circumstances confronts tasks that are mythic in nature. The novel includes episodes of betrayal and despair, inspiration and inflation, epiphany and willing sacrifice, that parallel the stages of individuation as described by Edward Edinger. Relationships serve as the crucible and provide the power of this book.
