And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones." 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. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Helvetica; color: #1f4e79} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

Reviews
"In 1930s Korea an earnest young woman, abandoned by the lover who has gotten her pregnant, enters into a marriage of convenience that will take her to a new life in Japan... thus begins Lee's luminous new novel PACHINKO... a powerful meditation on what immigrants sacrifice to achieve a home in the world ... confirms Lee's place among our finest novelists."-- Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and This Is How You Lose Her

My item was really well packaged, which is great because it was delivered in the rain and my porch has little protection against rain. Luckily, it was in a plastic bag inside of a padded poly envelope, so none of the water got to the paperback book. Also, it was shipped really fast and is exactly as described.

I made an offer for this item which was then followed up by a counteroffer from the seller. I then made another counteroffer and that offer was accepted. I made my payment and then after the payment was processed, the order was cancelled. The reason given was that the item was now out of stock. Kinda confusing considering all the different offers made back and forth. Regardless, I was given a refund and all is good now.
