National Book Award finalist. 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.
Characters: 102. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
