WHITE CHYSANTHEMUM



We had a wonderful evening sharing our thoughts about White 
Chrysanthemum! I am so sorry this blog is tardy!!!

Although we found this historical- fiction novel to be intense and 
suspenseful (many of us had to put the book down a few times). We all 
agreed that we learned so much about Korea and Japan during the 1940s.

Hana, the elder sister had enjoyed  lived her life as a haenyeo, a 
female diver. She enjoyed her independence until the day she saved her 
younger sister Emi's life. Both sisters dug deep and continually  persisted with their lives 
as haenyeo women ---- with Power and Strength!!! 

Wishing all my Powerful, Strong Bookworm Women a Happy and Bountiful 
Thanksgiving!!!

XOXO

  1. Hi Jill,
    Thank you for hosting!! It was so much fun!!
    And the candies were good! I did end up taking home extra bags!!
    I enjoyed the book very much . It was a harsh read, but important to know the horrific atrocities
    that were committed.
    I loved Hana’s perseverance! Such a strong woman. I see all of you as amazing , strong women. I hope
    you had a blessed Thanksgiving ! And look forward to seeing you all next week!
    Be blessed!
    Mary
