Well researched and informative, in a highly respectful manner, both in regards to the history of the haenyeo and the history of Jeju/Korea. Heartbreaking and yet full of strength, healing and intergenerational growth, this book detailed intense friendships and community ties amid deeply traumatic events (both things they could control and things they couldn't). I couldn't look away

I found a recommendation for this on a forum when I was looking for cosy reads, but I'll give a heads up to anyone else who reads this that there is actually a lot of trauma and darkness in this book
