Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea is a part-novelization (2009) of interviews with refugees from Chongjin, North Korea, written by Los Angeles Times journalist Barbara Demick. In 2010, the book was awarded the BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. It was also a nonfiction finalist for the National Book Award in 2010.

Finished it a few days ago. Quite moving and engrossing book. If you're interested in non fiction/historical writings, give it a read if you ever get a chance. It'll be worth your time, I promise.
