Synopsis
Gi and Il-sun live behind North Korea's iron curtain, under the watchful eye of Kim Jong-il. As orphans, growing up on a diet of thin soup and propaganda, life is a struggle against hunger and fear. But tender Gi and headstrong Il-sun find consolation in each other, and their unlikely friendship grows as deep as the bond between sisters. Everything will change when a man comes into their lives. As Gi and Il-sun are taken from their jobs in a clothing factory, and spirited across the border to the South, they begin a journey that will test the strength of their friendship, and their entire understanding of the world. Perfect for fans of Khaled Hosseini and Chris Cleave, ALL WOMAN AND SPRINGTIME is an unforgettable portrait of the most mysterious country on earth, and of a young woman who loses everything but refuses to be destroyed.

Review
One of the most absorbing, chilling, beautifully written and important novels I've read in many years Alice Walker, author of THE COLOUR PURPLE It's been a while since I've read a book that has hooked me from the very first page and kept me hooked throughout every single chapter. All Woman and Springtime is one such rare gem... So absorbing was the story that I wanted to step in and usher the characters to safety. What more could you ask from a novel? Booktrust [A] masterfully realized debut ... One of its most impressive achievements is the rendering of main character Gi, who is brought powerfully and beautifully to life ... VERDICT Impossible to put down, this work is important reading for anyone who cares about the power of literature to engage the world and speak its often frightening truths. Library Journal Recommended by Oprah Winfrey, Brandon W Jones brings us a haunting debut that follows two teenage girls as they become innocent victims of the international sex trafficking trade.
