PACHINKO follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them all. Deserted by her lover, Sunja is saved when a young tubercular minister offers to marry and bring her to Japan. So begins a sweeping saga of an exceptional family in exile from its homeland and caught in the indifferent arc of history. Through desperate struggles and hard-won triumphs, its members are bound together by deep roots as they face enduring questions of faith, family, and identity"-- Min Jin Lee. a-kr--- Families Korea Fiction PS3612.E346 P33 2018 813.6 LEE/P 9781837933525 9781455563937 (hardcover) 9781455563920 (paperback) 9781478970880 (signed edition) 2017299584 DLC 180126 20231005162400.0 20313420
