Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

5.0

challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

If I could rate this book higher than 5 stars, I would. It is touching, complex, and thought-provoking. The characters demonstrate the importance of accepting one's self and embracing your identity, regardless of what society may say about it. The characters who abandon themselves have very sad stories, but the characters who accept themselves are able to find peace within their lives even when there is not peace around them.
