veloci_rachel 's review for:
The Island of Sea Women
by Lisa See
Wow. I thought this would be a book that would predictably follow many of Lisa See's well-worn narrative tracks, but I was wrong. It gave me everything I love about her books and still managed to move and surprise me. I loved learning about the history and culture of Jeju and the haenyeo, and I couldn't put this book down despite some of the really painful and graphic descriptions of the violence that many on Jeju experienced through Young-sook's life. Lisa See is a master storyteller and I think she knocked it out of the park with this book. I can't recommend it enough.
