Every time I learn something new about the history of the world I am once again shocked by the seemingly unending cruelty of men

i cried SO hard at the end of this book. the schoolyard scene was beyond sickening and the second i realized who yo-chan’s wife who clara mentioned was i absolutely lost it and could not get it together at all for the rest of the book. my only complaint was that the end went SO fast for me. however it ended perfectly in my opinion. lisa see i’m suing for emotional damages and also requesting a copy of every book you’ve ever written. paperback, please.

A complicated story about love, friendship, loss, grief. The story of the Haenyeo is fascinating.

" Cau vuit vegades I aixeca-te'n nou. Per a mi aquesta dita no és tant sobre els morts que aplanen el camí per a les futures generacions com sobre les dones de Jeju. Patim, patim I patim, pero també ens continuem aixecant. Continuem vivint. No series aquí si no fossis valenta. "
