Tunnel 29 is non-fiction that reads like fiction. It's a historically jam-packed page turner that has a lot of heart, and a lot of heart break.

It seems unbelievable to think that a government would stop its citizens from leaving or returning to its country, then set up a system where they nark on each other for disobeying the communist government. Unbelievable, except I read this just after NZ had done something similar - barred us from leaving our homes, from citizens re-entering their country, separating families for years, and had set up a hotline system during lockdown to report any of our neighbours who were disobeying. Of course, Tunnel 29 documents much worse atrocities as things devolved in their country.

So I think the saddest part of this story is the ability the government's propaganda had to to turn human against human, friend against friend.

What was heartening, though, was how BRAVE people were. How they sacrificed their safety for others. I often think that people love a story about others being brave, but it's so hard to do in actuality.

Anyway, LOVED THIS (and hated that it ever happened).
