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

Cute but slim fit not wide foot friendly
Size: 8.5, Color: Black
Bought these and they were so cute! The only thing was they were wide enough and I don’t typically have a wide foot. I would maybe size up or look for a wider fitting shoe if you have a wide foot. But the style and heel height were perfect not to high! I ended up returning because of the slim fit.

Love these
Size: 8.5, Color: Coffee
So comfortable, stylish, and easy to wear. This can be used with any outfit, whether it’s casual or something more dressy like for work. They are comfortable and easy to wear for eight hours at a time. Heel is nice and thick and very stable, which makes for walking in a heel very comfortable. The color is a beautiful nude, which does not look too chalky or too brown. This is a stable in my

Great nude shoe!
Size: 10, Color: Nude
Perfect nude dressy heal. Was not uncomfortable at all. I thought my toes would be sliding out. I did put grips on the bottoms because they are a tiny bit slippery and I am prone to falling. Cute and didn’t distract from my dress.

Only wear for short distances
Size: 8, Color: Nude
These heeled sandals were very cute and flattering. After a couple minutes of walking, my feet began to hurt. I got blisters upon removal. A few days later I tried wearing them again, it is still extremely painful. Great for pictures though!
