Mi amigo Kim Jong-un

What was Kim Jong-un's childhood like? What were his desires and passions? What made him happy? South Korean author Keum Suk Gendry-Kim has lived for years on Ganghwa Island, located on the border with North Korea. Just a few meters from her home is a military base whose noisy drills remind her that, although the armistice ending the Korean War was signed seventy years ago, tensions with their northern neighbors have not ended. In her new book, Gendry-Kim documents the family and personal life of the Supreme Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-un, through a first-person narrative that sends a powerful message against war and an invitation to peace for two divided countries.
