On the beach in front of the guest house, a haenyo was sorting through her catch. Her diving suit steamed in the cold air. Kerrand crouched on a rock to watch, one hand on the ground to keep his balance. Waves lapped at our feet. I told Kerrand about the diver women. They came from the island of Jeju. They dived down to ten metres all year round, in all weathers, fishing for shellfish and sea cucumber.

The haenyo started scrubbing her mask with a sprig of seaweed in her calloused hand. I bought a bag of shellfish from her. Kerrand wanted to stay and watch but I was shivering. He followed me over to the main building. I asked him if he’d be at dinner that evening. No, he said, he wouldn’t.
