Not Just About A Book Club Reads "The Women of Sea Island"

Our "Not just about a book" club met for breakfast at the newly opened "Lou and Mike's cafe" this morning to discuss Lisa See's "Island of Sea Women". Lou and Mike's is owned by the same people that owned "The Rivers End" cafe in Seal Beach. The menu is very similar. It's a nice quiet space during the week serving only breakfast and lunch. Weekends are busier. We all enjoyed the book about the Fierce female Korean divers of Jeju islands and the dramatic history that shaped their lives. Many of us had attended the lecture on the research and writing process of this book by the author Lisa See. A fascinating, often heart-breaking look at friendship and forgiveness.
