The Lightly Literary Podcast

This week, Travis and Amanda analyze the second half of THE ISLAND OF SEA WOMEN, a historical fiction novel by Lisa See. It checks so many boxes for a traditional book club: venture into an under-explored time/place, consider the ethics of friendship and love, see a life unfold across the decades! And though it may veer into some dull periods and deploy a few cliches, it's a solid read that accomplishes those tasks well. Come for haenyeo, stay for the friendship.
