Description
A powerful and moving epic of four generations of a Korean immigrant family, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. Against the indifferent arc of history, Sunja's decision to abandon her home sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and complex in its characters, this novel explores the lives of strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis, as they survive and thrive against all odds. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Pachinko is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
With its themes of hope, family, and the human spirit, Pachinko is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in stories of love, loss, and resilience. Includes a reading group guide to enhance your understanding and discussion of this unforgettable novel.
