Pachinko

Pachinko is the story of four generations of a Korean family. The story begins with the tale of Sunja, who finds herself pregnant and without a husband in early 1900's Korea, and who is saved by the kindness of a young minister who marries her and takes her to Japan.

It's a huge story, with lots of fascinating characters who suffer through the humiliations of discrimination and poverty, the destruction of war, and the vagaries of love.

I must thank my many blogger friends who told me over and over about the excellence of this book.
