hje_thomas 's review for:
The Island of Sea Women
by Lisa See
This was absolutely the best book i’ve read so far this year. I loved the characters and the intensity of their love (and at moments deep hate). The story is about one woman and her community, and their life during the Japanese/USA occupation in Korea (and especially surrounding the Jeju 4.3 incident). Learning about the history of the haenyeo was such a gift and I really felt like I was on Jeju island. And you know multigenerational historical fiction is my FAVE! I wish I could forget this book and read it again fresh.
