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 \u2014 and that her lover is married \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko<\/i> 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 \u2014 strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis \u2014 survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.<\/p>\n
