Is it possible to marry a person you have never met? In 1918, three Korean women leave their homes for a fateful trip to Hawaii: They decide to marry after seeing only photographs of their prospective husbands. Each girl flees to the other side of the world in search of a better life, but their dreams are soon shattered. The chosen one, Hongju, turns out to be thirty years older than in the photograph. Seonghwa is given as a wife to a lazy drunkard. And although Po-deul made a good match, she is still unhappy: her fiancé Taewan agreed to the wedding against his own will. But there is no turning back. And now the friends will have to get used to the new reality and start over from scratch. Who is this book for?
