If you've ever been curious about life inside the Hermit Kingdom, Suki Kim's "Without You, There Is No Us" offers a rare and compelling glimpse. By immersing herself in the role of an English teacher at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, Kim provides a narrative that is as much a psychological study as it is an exploration of a closed society.
