In Min Jin Lee's acclaimed and magisterial novel, four generations of a poor, proud immigrant family fight to control their destinies while exiled from their homeland. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a 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 bend to his will. Instead she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home and reject her son's powerful father sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richly told and profoundly moving, \u003ci\u003ePachinko \u003c\/i\u003eis a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of one of Japan's finest universities to pachinko parlors and the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters--resilient, fierce women, devoted sisters, bright sons, fathers shaken by moral crises--survive and flourish against the indifferent arc of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Min Jin Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538784020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMin Jin Lee\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eFree Food for Millionaires\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePachinko\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Award, runner-up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and a New York Times \"100 Best Books of the Century.\" She serves as the New York State Author Laureate from 2025 through 2027.
