Yeongdo, Korea, 1911.
In a small fishing village on the banks of the East Sea, a clubfooted, cleft-lipped man marries a fifteen-year-old girl. The couple have one child, their beloved daughter, Sunja.
When Sunja falls pregnant by a married yakuza, the family faces ruin. But then Isak, a Christian minister, offers her a chance of salvation: a new life in Japan as his wife.
Following a man she barely knows to a hostile country where she has no friends, no home, and whose language she cannot speak, Sunja’s salvation is only the beginning of her story.
Spanning eight decades and four generations, Pachinko is an epic tale of family, identity, love, sacrifice, and survival.
