Winner of the Writers' Guild Award for Best Debut Novel Longlisted
for the Authors' Club First Novel Award 'Look for your sister after
each dive. Never forget. If you see her, you are safe.' Hana and
her little sister Emi are part of an island community of haenyo,
women who make their living from diving deep into the sea off the
southernmost tip of Korea. One day Hana sees a Japanese soldier
heading for where Emi is guarding the day's catch on the beach. Her
mother has told her again and again never to be caught alone with
one. Terrified for her sister, Hana swims as hard as she can for
the shore. So begins the story of two sisters suddenly and
violently separated by war. Moving between Hana in 1943 and Emi as
an old woman today, White Chrysanthemum takes us into a dark and
devastating corner of history - and two women whose love for one
another is strong enough to triumph over the evils of war.
