Omschrijving
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. When Hana sees a Japanese soldier heading for Emi on the beach, she swims as hard as she can for the shore. So begins the story of two Korean sisters suddenly, violently separated by the devastating events of the Second World War.

She grew up in a large ex-pat community of women who came of age in post-war South Korea. In 2002 Bracht visited her mother's childhood village, and it was during this trip she first learned of the 'Comfort Women' captured and set up in brothels for the Japanese military.
