A New York Times Top 10 Book of the Year and National Book Award finalist, Pachinko is an "extraordinary epic" of four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family as they fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan (San Francisco Chronicle).
"There could only be a few winners, and a lot of losers. And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones".
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant - and that her lover is married - she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters - strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis - survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.
Commentaires
"If proof were needed that one family's story can be the story of the whole world, then
Pachinko offers that proof. Min Jin Lee's novel is gripping from start to finish, crossing cultures and generations with breathtaking power.
Pachinko is a stunning achievement, full of heart, full of grace, full of truth." (Erica Wagner, author of
Ariel's Gift and
Seizure)

Incredibly hooking
Characters and their interactions are so real it feels like a timeless work. The context also helps to get a glimpse of a part of Japanese and Korean history that I believe unknown by most westerners like me.

Exquisite
I love the book. It is my first taste of historical fiction. The story has a wide cast of interesting characters and brings you to vivid places in Busan, Osaka, Tokyo, Nagano and Yokohama.

The Korean subaltern to Japanese colonisation
A well-constructed Korean family saga spanning the 20th century. Strong female characters carry the family through difficult times due to the social, religious and political upheavals they endure. Yet a woman's lot is a powerless one both in Korean society and in Japan as second-class citizens. The family's strong moral fibre means that even when as Korean immigrants they are forced to accept underpaid work or turn to the notorious pachinko parlours as the only means of getting rich, they remain honest and uphold the family's values. Thus inevitably attempts to come to terms with the injustices suffered lead to tragedy. Alice Hiroto's softly accented voice brings delicacy to the complex , often heart-rending narrative.

Riveting, grabbing- just beautiful
Utterly beautiful while educational too. Thought-provoking and emotionally riveting. Definitely something those with little idea of Asia other than brash Takeaway stereotypes need to read (or listen to). It's a book that will entertain you and mark you for years to come. I couldn't recommend it more.
