Not the first book on this subject, but so much more history.

This was such a beautiful account of friendship and forgiveness. It was an interesting exploration of the culture of Haenyeo or "sea women" and the lives they may have had. There was a scene that was one of the most gut wrenching I have ever read and I was captivated by the descriptions of the diving excursions.
