Genre: Fiction

Starting in Korea in 1911, Pachinko follows its main character as she marries and moves to Japan, and subsequently follows the fortunes of her descendants - living as second-class citizens in a country whose jingoism prevents them from ever rising too high. Through eight decades and four generations, Min Jin Lee spins an epic tale of a family, of identity, love, death and survival.
