Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of White Chrysanthemum by Mary Lynn Bracht, read by Greta Jung.
'Look for your sister after each dive. Never forget. If you see her, you are safe.'
Hana and her little sister Emi are part of an island community of haenyeo, women who make their living from diving deep into the sea off the southernmost tip of Korea.
One day Hana sees a Japanese soldier heading for where Emi is guarding the day's catch on the beach. Her mother has told her again and again never to be caught alone with one. Terrified for her sister, Hana swims as hard as she can for the shore.
So begins the story of two sisters suddenly and violently separated by war. Switchbacking between Hana in 1943 and Emi as an old woman today, White Chrysanthemum takes us into a dark and devastating corner of history. But pulling us back into the light are two women whose love for one another is strong enough to triumph over the evils of war.
A riveting, immersive read in the vein of The Kite Runner and Memoirs of a Geisha.

Engaging but very sad.
Story is good it nicely depicts the life of women
But throughout the story is very sad. You may even cry while listening.

Beautiful read
This was not a easy book to read/listen. Its a beautifully written work of fiction which resurfaces truths of the last. A beautiful tribute to not just Korean women, but women in general who have suffered due to wars.
This is no ordinary book indeed!
A must must read!
