Synopsis
Set on the Korean island of Jeju, this novel follows the lives of two best friends, Young-sook and Mi-ja, as they navigate the challenging world of the haenyeo, or 'sea women.' These women dive for seafood without modern equipment, a tradition passed down through generations. The story spans decades, exploring their deep bond, the sacrifices they make, and how their lives are shaped by their unique culture and the changing tides of history.
