This is fascinating (as with The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane - I am learning a lot!) and absorbing. So far, this is a great read about a relatively little known Korean island where women free dive for their families' livelihood. The story is told in the 1940s and in 2008 from the point of view of a free diver (haenyeo) named Young-sook.
