Re-Read: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

I just joined a book club at the invitation of a work friend. She and I always talk about books and she invited me to join her lovely group.  Even though I had read this book just a year ago, I picked it up again because I realized that I recalled so little about it. I did recall that I liked it, however.

Oh my God! It disturbed me that I remembered so little as I started it again. It's a fabulous book but I must have just skimmed through it because the details were really unfamiliar to me.

What a great story and how much I learned about Koreans and Japanese and the intense animosity the Japanese have for Koreans.

I highly recommend this book for its characterization, historical perspective and engaging storyline.
