April’s Reviews > The Island of Sea Women > Status Update

I’ve started reading The Last of the Sea Women, and I’m honestly not sure I can finish it. I understand it’s historical fiction, but the events in Jeju (South Korea) around 1949 are beyond horrifying.
There’s no word strong enough to describe what happened. What was done to those people defies comprehension. “Savages” feels too mild. There’s not a place in hell that could do justice to that level of cruelty.
