Recommended if you like books about:

Friendship - but be warned it all goes terribly, terribly wrong (you know this from the beginning - so not a spoiler :))

Well researched Historical Fiction - this novel is about the Haenyeo (female Korean Divers in the island of Jeju), the semi-matriarchal society on Jeju, Shamanism, Japanese Colonialism, the Korean War, and the Jeju uprising.

The seas and the Oceans and the deep commitment the women bear for the Sea that feeds and nutures them.
