Description:
A new novel from Lisa See, the New York Times bestselling author of The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, about female friendship and family secrets on a small Korean island.
 
Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends that come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook’s mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility but also danger.

Despite their love for each other, Mi-ja and Young-sook’s differences are impossible to ignore. The Island of Sea Women is an epic set over many decades, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by World War II, the Korean War and its aftermath, through the era of cell phones and wetsuits for the women divers. Throughout this time, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator, and she will forever be marked by this association. Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother’s position leading the divers in their village. Little do the two friends know that after surviving hundreds of dives and developing the closest of bonds, forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point.

This beautiful, thoughtful novel illuminates a world turned upside

Great value for crossbody purse.
Perfect size, made well, zippers are heavy duty, really love this cross body. Was hoping in could have gotten gold hardware on the black bag.

excellent quality
Color: Iw003-black
Quality leather and construction! I wish the strap were a tiny bit narrower, but I cannot complain about such a well-made bag!

Nice strong leather, good purse
I generally liked this purse but ultimately returned it because I could not wear over the shoulder. It's good as a clutch or cross body. I tried as a cross body but it would slide to the front when I walked, maybe that's just a cross body thing in general, I don't know.

It's elegant in a simple, understated way. I love it!
Looks like expensive, pebbled leather. just enough pockets to fit all my things. slim design, but roomy enough fit many items. I like that the hardware is silver. It looks sharp with the black purse . love the two straps, so it can be worn on the shoulder or as a cross body bag to keep hands free It's elegant in a simple, understated way. I love it!

Oversized Logo ruins the look.
It's a great bag, lots of space, pockets and super cute except for the GIANT LOGO embroidered on one side. In the pics you think "maybe it won't be that bad in person." Well, it's worse in person. If this were a Gucci, Coach, MK - it would be great. But this is some random no name - and it's an ugly patch.
