One of the New York Times’ 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.
In this New York Times bestseller, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan—read by Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Sandra Oh.
“Stunning.” —New York Times Book Review
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger. When she discovers she is pregnant—and that her lover is married—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.
Profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty.
