The island of sea women by Lisa See is also about the haenyeo of jeju but it’s set slightly earlier at the start of WW2. I really liked it and it really opened my eyes to the way the local people were treated during the occupation and what these women went through to provide for their families

hey emma, i just wanna say that your videos and Carolyn's channel are helpful and calming. You have helped me through my father's covid days. I just lost my dad around 10 hours ago. I know that God loves him more. Now I can't even read Anna Karenina. It's because every time my late father used to ask about what page that I'm on. Currently, I'm grieving, we'll be fine. Love, Felicia

I can relate about The Goldfinch. I think it's a good novel and worth reading, and on occasion there were parts that really hit home for me. Particularly the parts in Vegas. But, it did feel like there's long stretches where nothing happened. Not to backseat Donna Tartt to much, this won a Pulitzer after all, but it felt like a lot of material could have been cut down so the book didn't feel so drawn out.
