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

Hi Jill,
ReplyDeleteThank 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!
