pickI had no idea this book would be so focused on the nature of work, but I loved it for that: business owner vs being a company person, part time work vs full time, the corporate tendency to offer contract over permanent position, needing to be seen as a success, the rat race, the need to make an income, make a profit vs work/life balance, 1/?
Another important realization I'm wishing on all those in the workforce.

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A story of the Haenyeo, the all-female diving collective of Jeju Island, South Korea. These badass women immerse themselves in dangerous work harvesting seafood. This is the kind of historical fiction I‘m down for as I was not previously familiar with this fascinating culture. This follows the two friends through decades of tumult. A very difficult read at times. Prepare to cry. #bookclub
This isn‘t a book I would‘ve picked up on my own, but it‘s fascinating. This is why I love my book club!

so-soThe speculative tale of Yewon, a young woman adrift, and of the relationship between the Koreas. At first it is rather realistic, with Yewon wondering about her life while driving a North Korean woman to her long lost brother in prison and while worrying about her mom, who keeps and daily washes the bones of family members. Yewon doesn‘t eat and dreams of an invisible hotel. And are the Koreas heading for peace or war?Very weird. #ToB25Longlist
