The president of Equatorial Guinea’s daughter – brought up by Kim Il-sung in North Korea

Her father was the president of Equatorial Guinea who sent her abroad for her own safety, shortly before he was executed by firing squad.

Then came a still more surreal twist – Monica Macias ended up in North Korea being brought up by a man she calls her “adoptive father” – the dictator Kim Il-sung.

Now living in London – she’s written about her extraordinary life story – from growing up in Pyongyang to her travels around the world.
