Pachinko

Description

Pachinko is a sweeping, multigenerational saga that follows a Korean family over nearly a century, from Japanese-occupied Korea in the early 1900s to post-war Japan. At its heart is Sunja, a young woman whose unplanned pregnancy sets her on a path that changes her family’s fate forever.

As the family faces poverty, discrimination, and identity struggles in a foreign land, they find resilience, love, and strength across generations. The novel explores themes of belonging, sacrifice, and the deep costs of survival with rich historical detail and emotional depth.
