Princess Bari was set in the 90s following Bari’s perspective (love how the earliest chapter shared the root of her name), a brave young girl who escapes North Korea from the famine, death and the loss of her family to seek refuge in China before crossing oceans in the hold of a cargo ship to find a better life in London. \n\nA heartrending and evocatively written narrative to me as the plotline tautly grasped a detailed life story of Bari since her younger age; to experience the hardships and how her family need to manage living in a land and era of economic mismanagement and the loss of Soviet support that led to a widespread malnutrition and chronic hunger-related illnesses to the people. Truly love how the author narrated his plot; well gripping and emotionally phrased with that pinch of surreal almost haunting hue that goes spiritually engaging. I like Bari’s character a lot; to see her growth throughout the timeline, her journeys of survival, adapting to new culture, languages and way of living.\n\nBit chaotic and suspenseful as it intertwined a perspective of marginalised society during its London’s backdrop with Bari’s adulthood phase. I did not expect that the culture part would get me into a vivid religion related setting in the later chapters yet I like how the author executed the progress; interlacing it with modernization, political and humanity while delicately exploring both the historical retelling (of 9\u002F11 tragedy and the aftermath impact) and Bari’s life drama after she met Ali. \n\nThis’ll be a great catch for a historical slice-of-life genre if you’re a fan to this type of fiction. My second read from the author after Familiar Things and think I would definitely get another read from him again next time. 4 stars to this!",4,"none","rv-01kr82a0b2e97xe6v0r3zg8ka8",[],"2026-05-10T04:28:41.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":88,"per_page":89,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":15},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kqrkyfqg23s9pkrvv21d3xj6\u002Freviews",20]
