The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See
4.0
4.5 stars
This story was hopeful and heartbreaking. I didn’t know much about Korea’s history and had never heard of the Haenyeo women of Jeju island. It was beautiful and gut wrenchingly sad to learn what they were made to live through. The fact that they were “sisters of the heart” in the end was truly remarkable.
