I decided to purchase this book due to my involvement in a book club, where it was thoughtfully selected by one of the members. Prior to this, I hadn’t explored any other works by the author. Although it might not have been my first choice, I found myself delightfully surprised! The book proved to be an outstanding read, taking me beyond my usual reading preferences and comfort zone. I wholeheartedly recommend it! The abundance of historical facts woven into a wonderful and well-crafted story made for an exceptional experience. As a result, I now eagerly look forward to exploring more works by this talented author. Kudos!

This novel caught me completely off guard, introducing me to a world I had never known before. I was unaware of the extraordinary lives of women engaged in fishing by diving, and the complex political struggles between Japan and Korea that affected them, leading to discrimination based on their differences. It’s a poignant tale, filled with hardships and rough living, leaving these women with scarce opportunities for joy or appreciation of their labor. However, amidst the challenges, their tenacity for survival and remarkable lung capacity painted a fascinating and previously unknown world before my eyes.

The book chosen for January’s book club is “The Island of Sea Women” by Lisa See. Going into this read, I had high hopes of incorporating it into my World Literature classroom, and I’m pleased to say those hopes have been confirmed. The novel provides a fascinating insight into a culture rarely explored in education.

The story revolves around Young-sook, spanning from her childhood to great-grandmotherhood, beautifully showcasing Jeju culture and the island’s history. It delves into the depths of our hearts, revealing how even those closest to us can betray and hurt us profoundly. Young-sook and her childhood friend Mi-ja embark on a journey as divers, harvesting shellfish from the ocean floor. While Mi-ja is burdened by her parents’ transgressions, Young-sook’s family shows compassion. As the political climate on the island turns treacherous, they are faced with choosing between loyalty to their friendship or to their newfound families. The book’s exploration of history and its theme of forgiveness, on both personal and national levels, make it one of my favorite reads of 2022.

I deeply appreciated the extensive research Lisa See poured into the book, immersing readers into a whole new world of Jeju culture. Through the eyes of a native Jeju, the novel sheds light on the island’s rulers and the harm they inflicted. The authenticity of Young-sook’s story, evident through various reviews and the author’s note, is what gives this historical fiction its timeless quality. It is precisely why I aspire to introduce this book to my students, as they often lack exposure to diverse cultures, especially lesser-known ones. If you have any similar recommendations, please feel free to share them below!

While I thoroughly enjoyed the overall narrative, some sections felt a bit slow, seemingly intended for character development to let readers empathize with Young-sook’s struggle to forgive. However, there were moments when it felt too dragged out. Additionally, certain parts read more like a history textbook rather than creatively weaving into the historical fiction narrative, which, although informative, left me wanting a more imaginative approach.
