![]() ![]() ![]() One of my insights after reading this is that the supposed victim is sometimes complicit in betrayal how much of betrayal is self inflicted by blame and refusal to forgive? The book’s main character held a grudge that her friend wasn’t a good enough friend, when to my mind, she herself should have been a better friend. There is horrendous violence, shaman spiritualism, and abuse. I was glad to learn more of both the Korean War and the “matrifocal” culture of the Haenyeo divers of Jehu Island, who harvest from the sea by holding their breath.īeyond culture, the themes of this book are blame, betrayal, and eventually, forgiveness. This historical fiction is of a time and place I’ve not read much about. ![]()
