Critics Review
“In the Absence of Sun is an amazing real-life family story that reads like a thriller. Helie Lee has shown incredible personal bravery in both taking responsibility for the cost her previous book took on her family left behind in North Korea and then in what she did to help get them out. She says she was never afraid. I was afraid for her.” – Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain
