Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

4.0

Pachinko is a beautiful, multi-generational tale of a family living in Japan as Korean immigrants from 1910-1989. The story is full of the trials and tribulations of life, war, and love. I throughly enjoyed this book, but it did take me a long time to read because the pacing was very stagnant. At the beginning, I flew the pages. The middle, however, took me a very long time. Reflecting on the book, I believe the pacing was strategic, as it signified the pacing of life: stagnant until unpredictable. Overall, I loved this book!
