'This is a captivating book... Min Jin Lee's novel takes us through four generations and each character's search for identity and success. It's a powerful story about resilience and compassion' BARACK OBAMA.
Yeongdo, Korea 1911. In a small fishing village on the banks of the East Sea, a club-footed, cleft-lipped man marries a fifteen-year-old girl. The couple have one child, their beloved daughter Sunja. When Sunja falls pregnant by a married yakuza, the family face ruin. But then Isak, a Christian minister, offers her a chance of salvation: a new life in Japan as his wife.
Following a man she barely knows to a hostile country in which she has no friends, no home, and whose language she cannot speak, Sunja's salvation is just the beginning of her story.
Through eight decades and four generations, Pachinko is an epic tale of family, identity, love, death and survival.

Uma das minhas leituras recentes favoritas. A autora traz uma história imersiva, na qual elementos narrativos e personagens te envolvem de forma muito natural. Recomendo muito! De uma certa forma, me remeteu um pouco a algumas obras de Allende, no sentido de ser uma narrativa que atravessa gerações e confronta a vulnerabilidade das personagens e os preconceitos étnicos e raciais com muita força e, ao mesmo tempo, delicadeza. Ao ler, o tempo inteiro sabia que era ficção, mas a percepção da história é de que bem poderia ser real

Beautiful story. I enjoyed the book so much. What a saga for this family. But it turns out many people have this kind of stories to tell.
