This book recommendation is on PACHINKO by Min Jin Lee. From the cover: “History is seldom kind. In Min Jin Lee’s bestselling, magisterial epic, four generations of a poor, proud immigrant family fight to control their destinies, exiled from a homeland they never knew…Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty…Lee’s complex and passion characters survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.”
