In this New York Times bestseller, four generations of poor Korean immigrant families struggling to control their fate in 20th-century Japan were inspiration for the TV series Apple TV+.
In the early 1900s, the teenage Sunja was the worship daughter of a disabled fisherman who fell into a wealthy stranger. When she finds out that she is pregnant (and her lover is married), she accepts a marriage of a gentle, sick minister on his way to Japan. But her decision to give up her home and reject her son’s powerful father triggers a dramatic legend that will reverberate for generations.
Pachiko is deeply moving and a story about love, sacrifice, ambition and loyalty.
