NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2017 A USA TODAY TOP TEN OF 2017 JULY PICK FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR-NEW YORK TIMES BOOK CLUB NOW READ THIS FINALIST FOR THE 2018 DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE WINNER OF THE MEDICI BOOK CLUB PRIZE Roxane Gay's Favorite Book of 2017, Washington Post NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 BOSTON GLOBE BESTSELLER USA TODAY BESTSELLER WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER '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.
