'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.

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.

Trevlig och sympatisk bok. Beskriver hur det var för koreaner under och efter andra världskriget. En kvinna, hennes val och hennes liv. Fin och läsvärd

Otroligt imponerande att ha förmågan att skriva en roman som sträcker sig över flera generationer där berättelsen håller hela vägen.Vackert och målande språk, samtidigt informativt gällande relationen Korea och Japan. 🤍
