A review by dittotrainer
The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See

Did not finish book. Stopped at 67%.

Felt like cultural appropriation suffering porn that exotifies the women involved. There is a lot that happens in that era of history however the main character seems to more often than not be conveniently there for it. Grief slamming into grief slamming into grief
