Powell's Staff Pick:
"Following four generations of a family from WWII to 1989, Pachinko examines themes of war, identity, prejudice, poverty, shame, and family. Set against the bombing of Nagasaki and the Korean War, but focusing on the unrelenting prejudice born from that period, Lee's story asks the question: What is home? Competently done, the saga of Sunja, her parents, her children, her grandchildren, and the man who helps her throughout her entire life, Pachinko is full of both pain and joy. Don't miss it."
