Abstract
Title: Jia: A Novel of North Korea (Indonesian edition: Jia: Sebuah Kisah dari Korea Utara)
Author: Hyejin Kim
Summary:
Jia is a poignant and gripping novel that offers a rare, humanizing glimpse into life inside the world’s most secretive regime. Born into a family branded with a low social caste (songbun) due to her father’s political misfortunes, the protagonist, Jia, grows up in the bleak reality of a North Korean orphanage. Despite the oppressive state surveillance, widespread famine, and systemic deprivation, Jia discovers solace and a sense of identity through her passion for dance.
As she matures, the brutal realities of the regime force her onto a perilous path of survival. Facing betrayal and the threat of political labor camps, Jia is ultimately forced to make the harrowing decision to defect. Her journey takes her across the frozen river border into China, where she must navigate the dangerous world of undocumented defectors, human traffickers, and the constant fear of repatriation.
