After just a few pages you will know you are about to read something very special. No wonder it’s a best-seller and a book group favorite! Gifted author Min Jin Lee delivers a beautiful historical novel following characters and generations from Korea to Japan. NPR describes it best when they say:

 “Pachinko is the kind of book that can open your eyes and fill them with tears at the same time.”

I can’t describe it any better than that.  

ABOUT KATHIE. Kathie’s formative years were as a school secretary and library assistant, making her transition to nearly any of the various jobs in the bookstore a natural fit; Book Group Coordinator, merchanidising assistant and a helping hand in the world of displays.

Funny she should end up living on an island herself
