What made this one different was that the author's family returned to North Korea from an expatriate community in Japan, hoping to be part of building a glorious socialist society. Their disillusionment is that much worse, I think, since the older generation had experienced such prosperity and freedom in Japan.
It looks like there is a film adaptation being made. Honestly, I'm not sure how much of this story I'd want to see on screen.
