Pachinko. La moglie coreana

Pachinko follows several generations of a Korean family beginning in the early twentieth century, when Sunja, a young woman living in Japanese-occupied Korea, becomes pregnant after a relationship with a wealthy businessman. She chooses to marry a kind Korean minister and moves with him to Japan, where the family faces discrimination, poverty, and social exclusion. Across decades, the novel traces the struggles and ambitions of Sunja’s descendants as they try to build secure lives in a society that treats Koreans as outsiders. It explores identity, sacrifice, family loyalty, prejudice, and the lasting effects of historical events on ordinary people.
