The Island of Sea Women

This was a beautifully composed tale of love, loss, friendship, heartbreak, strength (lots of it), resilience, trauma, and forgiveness.

Lately, my exploration of East Asian Literature has been leading me to uncover a lot of history and associative trauma that were uncharted territories to me. With this book, I was able to explore a dying tradition, an almost unique societal structure, and a tale of undying strength and resilience in the face of hardships.

Lisa See is truly a wonderful writer and I'm looking forward to reading more of her works.
