The Book Club book
This best-seller is a captivating family saga following four generations of Koreans and their relationship with Japan. Powerful and memorable, each character is searching to find their identity and lasting success.
In a small fishing village in Yeongdo, Korea in 1911 a club-footed, cleft-lipped man marries a fifteen-year-old girl. They have one child, Sunja who grows into a woman given a chance to start again: a new life in Japan with a man she hardly knows. What will come of travelling to a hostile country where she has no friends and can't speak the language? Pachinko covers eight decades of family, identity, love, death and survival.
