In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

评分也许是个不恰当的比喻。 如果Yaa Gyasi的Homegoing和Kristin Hannah的The Nightingale生了个宝宝,Pachinko可能就是这个宝宝。 Pachinko讲述了四代韩裔家庭从二战到80年代末在日本的生活。故事里有历史和文化,宗教和信仰,也有家庭和飘荡。这还是一个关于女性的故事,讲着女性不同身份角色的变化, 也讲着女性的苦难、坚韧和脆弱。Jesa和扫墓的片段,那些长年累月的坚持和重复,让我想到自己的母亲。 看这本书的时候,我一直单曲循环着毛不易的给你给我。意外的合适。 “给你我义无反顾的长长和久久/给我你多年以后仍握紧的手” “History has failed us, but no matter.”
