ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See tells the compelling story of two best friends, Young-sook and Mi-ja, who are part of the unique matrifocal haenyeo society of Jeju Island. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 20th-century Korea, the novel follows their enduring and often challenging bond through decades of war and societal change. As the women navigate their demanding lives as sea divers, their individual choices and the historical events surrounding them intricately tangle their friendship. The narrative explores themes of family, friendship, tradition, resilience, and the profound impact of historical trauma on their lives and relationships, portraying the strength and independence of the Jeju women.
