All woman and springtime part 1 By Brandon Jones

2 book reviews in a row? I've must have gone crazy! No I haven't I just stepped up my reading a bit with the previous book, now I have am reading another book and I have completed  the first part of a book called All Woman and springtime by Brandon Jones

This is a book partitioned in parts to highlight the course of the story, but it seems like it doesn't change the main characters of Gyong-ho and Il sun a single bit like Beneath the skin by Nicci French did

So it follows Gi and Il sun in North korea by some reason both lost their family (gi because of the work camps and il sun because her father was already old and her mother became sick after her brother fled to china.

They're now in the orphanage where they became the bestest of friends and really went trough tick and thin with eachother, while Gi was the quiet one and underdeveloped body wise il sun is an absolute vamp and extravagant. Il sun gets captivated with a human trafficker and she gets gi along side with them to the south, still under the impression that il sun was going to have a better life together with this gianni.

They ofcourse get trough the DMZ and they get sold there to some other guy and their papers are taken away from them.
This part is absolutly heartbreaking to read that people get such hardship in their factories and there is still some humanity left even in north korea between people of the same lot. The lowest case has to man the factories and get the quota's if they don't they get ofcourse punished and this friendship, is also hearthwarming in my opinion.

See you guys for the next review!
