In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan...
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

Akiko: “Noah chan, why are you so angry with me? You know that I think you of the best."
Noah stared at her. She would always believe that he was someone else, that he wasn't himself, but some fanciful idea of a foreign person. She would always feel like she was someone special because she had condescended to be with someone everyone else hated. His presence would prove to the world that she was a good person, an educated person, a liberal person.
Noah didn't care about being Korean when he was with her. In fact, he didn't care about being Korean or Japanese with anyone. He wanted to be, to be just himself, whatever that meant. He wanted to forget himself sometimes. But that wasn't possible. It would never be possible with her.
There was nothing else he could think of. And he wanted t... (查看原文)

本来觉得第三部分写得很杂很乱，读了最后的作者采访，似乎更能理解她的处理了。很赞的一本书！前两部分简直停不下来！头一次从在日韩国/朝鲜人的生存环境理解到日本社会的封闭，说起来也不惊讶。

花了幾天看完，感覺大失所望⋯⋯我不經常抱怨一本書的文筆，但它讀起來真的很一股西方凝視味。。。。。以及每一個我想看的故事（白以撒和順子/春希和摩西/摩西發家史/為什麼諾亞自殺了？⋯⋯etc.）都沒有講清楚。所有人物的愛恨都看得我雲裡霧裡。不過這個題材確實很不錯。勉強3.5。

太好看了。有些意外的是，我最喜欢的角色是Hana和Noa，而这两个人基本上是整本书里活得最糟糕的。然而在他们身上，我看到了其他人所没有的或者略显逊色的神圣感：他们把自己的人生过得一团糟，但却总是将善意和祝福馈赠给他们爱的人。他们的不幸源于自己的家庭，也就是他们无法控制的变量，如果我是他们，我不觉得自己能有多顺畅。
