I remember learning about these amazing women and the history of this community in an article some years back. It was awesome. I couldn’t wrap my mind around how some of these women who were in their 60s, 70s, etc. managed to do this demanding activity, but they did and have for so centuries. So obviously when I spotted this gorgeous cover then learned what the book was about I had to borrow it. The story was wonderful and informative, and the art was absolutely stunning. I definitely plan to recommend it to others.
Since there isn’t any option for this above, if you have a fear of water, especially deep water, or of almost drowning this book probably is one you should consider carefully if you want to read.
