'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.

Fantastisk bok. Läste ut den på några dagar. Bara det är ett tecken på att den (med sina 500 sidor) är fängslande. Rekommenderas till den som vill försvinna in i en annan värld och följa med på fyra generationers livsresa.

Чудесна книга, дълга и добре написана. Представлява интересен поглед върху начин на живот и култура, която малка част от българите познават.

I've hardly been into fiction, yet this book is a real page-turner! Highly recommended especially if you are interested in Korean history during colonization period by Japan and Korean War. Kudos to Minjin Lee for such an outstanding work!

One of Obama’s book recommendations. Very interesting to read about Koreans living in Japan - history that I wasn’t familiar with. The book is a collection of life stories of Koreans, every story stemming from that of Sunja who moved to Japan with his priest husband so escape the shameful situation, being pregnant for a married yakuza.
