The Island of Sea Women is a story about the free-diving women of South Korea’s Jeju Island. An enthralling and engrossing story about the intersection of family, friendships and history. In this, her newest novel, author Lisa See reaches new depths exploring the matrifocal haenyeo society in Korea, caught between tradition and modernization.

Barnes & Noble chose this novel for its nationwide March 2019 Book Club.
