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.

評分 評分其实看到这本书的书名,我一直以为它写的是一个人,原来,它想要表达的是一个时代,一个动荡不安、流离失所、他乡即故乡的时代。 时至今日,我们依然可以看到类似的新闻,譬如华人在一些国家和区域被区别对待、被歧视的种种遭遇,在文明高度发达的现代社会依然如此,在我们的祖...
