It seemed like I blinked an suddenly I was finished with this magnificent book: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee! _________________________________________ This book is quite the journey - literally and figuratively. It follows four generations of a Korean family trying to survive discrimination and poverty in Japan from 1910-1989. Because of this the pacing is very fast (moving about 2-5 years per chapter) yet somehow the plot is kept very straightforward and easy to follow. The twists and turns of this seemingly normal family were jaw dropping and the characterization of each person was so brilliantly done that I felt like I knew each one personally. The ending was simple but tied up all the loose ends very nicely. This book broke my heart and then glued all the pieces back together within the span of 479 pages. From the outside Pachinko might seem intimidating to the average reader, but I truly think you’d be missing out on a beautiful story if you didn’t pick this book up.💫 _________________________________________ #currentlyreading #bookstagram #reading #bookish #bibliophile #bookreview #bookworm #bookblogger #amreading #bookmail #minjinlee #Pachinko

I think my current read has taken me out of my reading slump, although the timing isn’t great since I have an exam to study for😅 _________________________________________ Pachinko is really like no other book I’ve read. I love historical dramas and this is such a fresh take on it. I love how seamlessly it transitions from character to character POVs as we see the generations evolve over time (and I’m only at the 2nd generation!). I’m so excited to continue this generational journey! _________________________________________ Have you read this lovely book? If so, what are your thoughts?🤔 _________________________________________ #currentlyreading #bookstagram #reading #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblogger #amreading #bookmail #minjinlee #Pachinko
