Pachinko (National Book Award Finalist): Trade Paperback

In this New York Times bestseller, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan– the inspiration for the television series on Apple TV+. 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. *Includes reading group guide* 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
