July 2025 Book Club - 'The Island of Sea Women' by Lisa See
Event description
Our Book Club pick for July is 'The Island of Sea Women' by Lisa See!
"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." This is a story of friendship, pearl diving, and the strains of history.
