Pachinko by Min Jin LeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this book on the recommendation of a synagogue friend. It was fascinating, with great characters and plotting. It was about several generations of Koreans during the Japanese annexation of Korea. The Koreans are left desolate and are ostracized; this family turns to several different avenues to survive.
I enjoyed getting to know more about that period of history. But most of all, I enjoyed getting to know the characters - and the family secrets that followed them.
