An Evening with
LISA SEE
discussing her new novel
The Island of Sea Women
in conversation with Claudia Potamkin
“Lisa See excels at mining the intersection of family, friendship and history…this novel spans wars and generations, but at it’s heart is a beautifully rendered story of two women whose individual choices become inextricably tangled.” – Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things
Known for her enthralling, elegant and meticulously-researched fiction about Asian characters and cultures (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan), See now shifts her focus for the first time to Korea, offering an evocative tale of two best friends whose bonds are both strengthened and tested over decades. The Island of Sea Women (Scribner, $27) illuminates a world turned upside down, one where women are in charge, engaging in dangerous physical work, and men take care of the children. A classic Lisa See story—one of women’s friendships and the larger forces that shape them.
