Accidental Tyrant
Description
Kim Il-sung was the enigmatic architect of North Korea. His life is an extraordinary tale of improbable success: once a barely educated guerrilla fighter, he rose to lead the nation at the young age of 33. Against all odds, he established a horrifyingly stable dictatorial regime, one that still struggles to provide for its people, yet could obliterate Hollywood, Silicon Valley and much of East Asia in nuclear strikes.
Based on extensive new sources in Korean, Russian, Chinese and Japanese, Fyodor Tertitskiy tells the unlikely story of one of the twentieth century’s most brutal but little-known dictators, from his early life in Japanese Korea to the lasting repercussions of his autocratic rule today.

Miss Kim Knows and Other Stories

1. Under the Plum Tree ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mallyeo, the youngest of three sisters, is not named in the same fashion as her older sisters. Their translated names are Gold Bead and Silver Bead, and thus, she should be Bronze Bead.
She is considered "lucky," because her mother had sons after her. While I revile the part of Asian culture that places such high importance on sons, and yet expects so much from daughters, I still connected to this story so much.
In the end, it is Mallyeo that ends up visiting Silver Bead in her dying days. Most of Silver Bead's children and grandchildren do not care to come. Aside from Mallyeo, she has one regular familial visitor.
It is not made known to us why this is the case. Perhaps Silver Bead didn't treat them fairly as they grew up. Perhaps they themselves are the ones that are not fair. That doesn't matter here. I still enjoyed this tiny window into elderly women's lives.
2. Dead Set ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
