'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.

I really enjoyed reading Pachinko! It takes a little bit to get into it but it’s a very well written story and the sadness/difficulties of life is palpable.

Een prachtig geschreven boek dat een mooie geschiedenis les in zich heeft. “Wij” in het westen denken vaak dat we de enigen met geschiedenis zijn. Dit verhaal over Korea en Japan schijnt licht op een ander deel.Mooie personages.
