Product Description

Imagine visiting Jeju Island, where Korean grandmothers free dive to harvest seaweed and shellfish. Even at age 70, many plunge 50 feet and hold their breath underwater for two minutes. Wouldn’t you like to talk with these daring women? Photojournalist Brenda Paik Sunoo, who lived for a while in her grandmother’s homeland to research this book, invited the locals to share their honest, intimate stories. Moon Tides amplifies their voices with Brenda’s engaging, award-winning photographs, plus woodcuts and poetry. You’ll discover details about the women’s work, relationships, traditions, community, and spiritual lives. Moon Tides is a beautiful, compelling book.
