Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

5.0

This book was one of the best reads of my life. I loved how the book transported me to another place and time. The language was colorful, and vividly described each character, rounding them out entirely. There was no character that I felt I couldn't relate to someone in my real life. There were times I had to walk away from the book because it evoked so much emotion... which is usually a pretty good indicator of how much a book means to me! At various times of her life, I could see Sunja reflected in my Poh-Poh, my mum, and myself. I will actually be buying this book because I want a copy of it to love and cherish forever!
