"The lives of women in 15th-century China are illuminated in this engrossing novel...See creates a rich story about a girl born into an aristocratic family...Women's friendships in a world where they have little freedom shape a quietly moving book." -Kirkus (starred review)

"An appealing tale of female love and loyalty ... See adds intrigue with a side plot involving a mysterious death, along with notable depictions of footbinding and the intricacies of Chinese medicine. See's fans will find much to enjoy." -Publishers Weekly

Praise for Island of Sea Women

"The fierce free-diving women on the Korean island of Jeju are the subject of Lisa See's mesmerizing new historical novel that celebrates women's strengths-and the strength of their friendships." -Oprahmag.com

"Lisa See excels at mining the intersection of family, friendship and history, and in her newest novel, she reaches new depths exploring the matrifocal haenyeo society in Korea, caught between tradition and modernization. This novel spans wars and generations, but at its heart is a beautifully rendered story of two women whose individual choices become inextricably tangled." -Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author of A SPARK OF LIGHT and SMALL GREAT THINGS

"A stupendous multigenerational family saga, See's latest also provides an enthralling cultural anthropology highlighting the soon-to-be-lost, matriarchal haenyeo phenomenon and an engrossing history of violently tumultuous twentieth-century Korea. A mesmerizing achievement. See's accomplishment, acclaim, and readership continue to rise with each book, and interest in this stellar novel will be well stoked." -Terry Hong, Booklist, STARRED review
