A young woman named Haemi is one of haenyeo of Jeju Island who harvest seafood for a living. Her profession that once supported thousands of women and their families, is now at risk of becoming extinct. So, her biggest goal is to keep the tradition of her mother and grandmother alive and make tourists aware of marine pollution. At the same time, at night, she dreams about a mysterious pearl that keeps disappearing. One day Haemi meets Minho, a handsome young man taking a break from the elite life he led in Seoul. Will Haemi help him find his purpose in life, without losing her own? The book “Haemi” is about following your heart, not giving up on dreams, it reminds us of the goals we have set for ourselves and the choices we made, which can keep us awake at night. From the book you will not only learn about the island of Jeju and the haenyeo profession, but also more broadly about Korean culture - its customs, dishes, local cuisine, dialects, etc. Reader's voices: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said that "the reader cannot be enslaved, the reader must be captivated." That’s what I can say about this book. The characters' emotions, their kindness and authenticity captivated me. Minho and Haemis’ feelings were my feelings. When they laughed, I laughed, when they cried, I cried too... -------------------- Dear future readers, We constantly strive for fake happiness, commonly known as a ‘Manhattan apartment’ or ‘Instagram relationship’, it is often too late that we realize this is not what we really need. Here, "Haemi" comes to our aid - a story about two souls joined by simple curiosity and incredible fascination, as well as about a wonderful Island full of treasures, where I have never been, but my imagination knows its every nook and cranny. SPOILER alert! This is a script for the Best KBS Drama Award !!! -------------------- This book is a real balm for the heart! It is pleasant to read, it touches, entertains and invites reflection! I recommend it with all my heart and am looking forward to the author's next works. -------------------- The book is beautiful, it can be read in one breath, it draws you from the first words to the last page. There is no place for boring scenes and descriptions here, everything is carefully thought out. All names are explained not only in terms of definition, but also how they should be read, which I like very much in books. The story might seem cliche, but the way it is constructed and conducted is one of a kind. I recommend picking it up on cold rainy evenings, allowing yourself to be transported to sunny places on Jeju Island. On hot days allow yourself to be enchanted by the descriptions of the endless sea and its depths. 10% of the profit will be donated.
