Description
Set against the backdrop of World War II, White Chrysanthemum is a deeply moving novel about two Korean sisters separated by war. Hana's life as a haenyeo, a female diver of the sea, gives her independence in occupied Korea, but when she saves her younger sister from a Japanese soldier, their lives are forever changed.
Hana is then captured and forced to become a "comfort woman" in a Japanese military brothel. Yet, despite the brutal circumstances, haenyeo are women of power and strength. This powerful story follows Hana's journey as she finds her way home, while her sister Emi struggles to come to terms with the past and find forgiveness.
Spanning decades, White Chrysanthemum is a suspenseful, hopeful, and ultimately redemptive tale of two sisters whose love for each other triumphs over the grim evils of war. This heart-wrenching novel explores themes of sacrifice, power, and the healing of wounds.
