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.

读后感

昨天晚上读《柏青哥》，一部长篇小说。原本只想读个开头，没想到四个半小时沉浸在故事中。 读到最后一页，合上书，想起了我自己经历的一个故事。 和马赛开车去西峡湾的路上，聊到了共同的朋友：希拉。 希拉来自南非，和马赛是同事，在冰岛的地图公司上班。三十年前，那时希拉还...

顺子16岁时从朝鲜釜山影岛移民日本大阪。她有两个温文尔雅、样貌俊朗不凡的儿子“诺亚和摩撒”，他们都是柏青哥游戏厅的老板，各自拥有好几家分店，但这一切并不能改变他们的社会地位。在大多数日本人眼里朝鲜移民都是流氓恶棍，他们经营的柏青哥游戏厅很脏，散发着一种贫穷和...

用户评价

作者的结尾我非常喜欢。作为一个immigrant其实很理解这种成长环境的背景不同，哪怕是from the same ethnicity，相似的也只是容貌和语言（少部分）而已。是一本令人值得深思的书。作为Saga长度刚好，但作为小说有一点略长而且人物过多。但也不妨一路被Sunja的成长和变化所感动，为年轻的Noa骄傲但为结局叹息，也为Solomon感到可惜吧。。也为一切身在时代洪流而无法左右自己的Immigrant，愿所有人也包括我自己，在一个新的国度找回家的感觉。

#沒事兒聽本書# 種族這事兒，真真是... ????

读到最后才忽然意识到，尽管时代背景历经日据、二战、朝韩战争，但作者始终以近乎平淡的笔触来描述几代人的经历。平淡得来，仍然让人手不释卷，被主人公的命运深深吸引。实在想感慨，大时代之中人真是身不由己啊，明明对比身边的人，sunja一家人已经是幸运之极了，却还是饱尝种种艰辛和屈辱，在故土和家之间漂泊，就好像是无法摆脱的宿命在血液里流淌。但即便如此，生活在其中的人，只要还有一口气还想活下去，就要与之对抗。

Is culture part of one’s identity? Is history inescapable? Is a woman’s life always suffering, or is it equally true for every human being?

本来觉得第三部分写得很杂很乱，读了最后的作者采访，似乎更能理解她的处理了。很赞的一本书！前两部分简直停不下来！头一次从在日韩国/朝鲜人的生存环境理解到日本社会的封闭，说起来也不惊讶。
