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.

A real page-turner! 很久没读到让人这么酣畅的小说,讲述四代朝鲜移民在日本社会艰难生存的家族传奇故事,时间线跨越近一个世纪。李敏锦没有花太多笔墨在时代背景,却通过非常踏实甚至亲密的人物描写带出战争和殖民对人性的摧残,和对种族、性别和移民的深刻影响,历史学和法学背景深厚功底可见一斑,也与她自己同样身为移民不无关系。 虽然是英文写就,但扑面而来的是东亚独特的文化和人物性格,因为常看日韩剧而学到的词汇也在读这本书时派上了用场。 读完才理解了开篇引用的托尔斯泰: History has failed us, but no matter.
评分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。
评分四代移民的辛酸,生活越来越好,然而不变的是对自己身份认同的挣扎。后半段无关人物介绍得太多,个体的发展又不够,读起来没有前半部那么精彩。最爱Sunja和Isak以及Hansu的爱恨纠葛。大概多数女人都被一生挚爱伤透了心,然后嫁给了一个全心爱自己的好男人
评分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。
评分History has failed us, but no matter.It's a grand gesture to lay out a century's history in one novel, especially a history as complicated as this, involving national oppression and a special immigrant group. The first two parts are mostly dramatic and fascinating. It's not a story just about a person or a family after all.
