Богато рассказанная и глубоко трогательная, Пачинко — это история любви, жертвенности, амбиций и верности. От шумных уличных рынков до залов лучших университетов Японии и салонов пачинко преступного мира, сложные и страстные персонажи Ли - сильные, упрямые женщины, преданные сестры и сыновья, отцы, потрясенные моральным кризисом - выживают и процветают против безразличной дуги истории.In the early 1900s, the teenage Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls in love with a rich stranger on the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her peace, but when she discovers that she is pregnant and that her lover is married, she refuses to buy. Instead, she accepts a marriage proposal from a gentle, sickly minister passing by on his way to Japan. But her decision to leave her home and reject her son's powerful father triggers a dramatic saga that will echo through the generations.
Richly told and deeply moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition and loyalty. From the bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's best universities and the pachinko salons of the underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters - strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by a moral crisis - survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.
