Here’s what others are saying about the 书:

“Lisa See excels at mining the intersection of family, 友谊, 和历史, 在她最新的小说中, she reaches new depths exploring the matrifocal haenyeo society in Korea, caught between tradition 和 modernization. 这部小说跨越了战争和几代人, but at its heart is a beautifully rendered story of two women whose individual choices become inextricably tangled.” – 朱迪。皮考特，《 火花的光芒 和 伟大的小事

“I was spellbound the moment I entered the vivid 和 little-known world of the diving women of Jeju. 故事发生在历史事件中， 海女之岛 is the extraordinary story of Young-sook 和 Mi-ja, 女人的胆量, 心碎, 强度, 和宽恕. 没有人写女性友谊, 黑暗与光明, with more insight 和 depth than Lisa See.” – 苏·蒙克·基德，《 蜜蜂的秘密生活 和 翅膀的发明

“Compelling, heart-wrenching, 和 beautifully written, 海女之岛 will plunge you into a world 和 a story you’ve never read before 和 remind you how powerful women can 和 must be to survive.——kristin Hannah，《。》的作者 夜莺 和 伟大的孤独
