Step into the richly woven world of Pachinko, the internationally acclaimed novel by Min Jin Lee. Published by Head of Zeus, this bestselling historical fiction novel captures the heart-wrenching journey of a Korean family across four generations as they navigate war, discrimination, and the pursuit of a better life in Japan.
Beginning in the early 1900s, young Sunja, the daughter of a poor but proud family in Korea, finds herself entangled in an unexpected pregnancy that alters the course of her life. Refusing to become the mistress of a wealthy businessman, she marries a kind but sickly minister and moves to Japan—a country where Koreans face oppression and exclusion. As Sunja and her descendants fight for dignity and survival, Pachinko explores love, ambition, identity, and the sacrifices made for family in a society that sees them as outsiders.
With Min Jin Lee’s masterful storytelling, Pachinko delivers an unforgettable reading experience, bringing historical events to life through the deeply personal struggles of one family. This critically acclaimed novel has been recognized as a modern classic, earning spots on bestseller lists and inspiring a major TV adaptation.
