In this New York Times bestseller, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan.

“Stunning.” —The 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.
