内容简介
······
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.

没觉得多好 能理解对当时历史描写的意图 但作者的文笔真的不喜欢 这种multi generation saga 写下来觉得所有的角色都还是平面的
在日朝鲜移民的家族史诗，跨越近一个世纪、四代人，情节跌宕起伏，人物形象各异、栩栩如生，贫穷、歧视、孤独煎熬下的隐忍与乐观令人印象深刻。但太过追求戏剧性，加入了一些突兀、俗套的桥段。
是超越个体和家庭而关乎整个民族的一段历史；特殊的时代背景下群体性的压迫令人印象深刻。
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…
