The Island Of Sea Women Paperback – 9 July 2020

Enjoyed the book very much and gave me a cultural glimpse into a world I didn’t know.

Heartwrenching tale about two friends Young sook and Mija and their journey of love, betrayal and forgiveness, War and it's aftermath and Brief history about Korean divers. Incredible historical fiction set in Jeju Island Korea.

Beautifully written showing the resilience of the human mind. Loved it

This book was a relish! A delight! I love asian histories of war and independence with a perfect blend of culture. Hence, I finished it as soon as I could get my hands around it. All I could say now is I am hungry for more from the author.

As far the story goes, it was quite interesting. I learnt so much about haenyeo and the various Jeju wars and their tragic consequences.This story was as much about Jeju life and culture, as it was about being a woman during harsh times. There were a few lessons to learn from this book.But in saying all this, I have to say that I preferred the author's other books over this one. While the book was good, it didn't hit all the right notes with me. But it is definitely worth a read.

Superb book. I am introduced to Lisa See by chance, but it was such a beautiful coincidence
