Monday, August 20th @ 6 p.m. – Avondale Library Book Club: Join us to discuss Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. "Beginning in 1910 during the time of Japanese colonialization and ending many decades later in 1989, Pachinko is the epic saga of a Korean family told over four generations. The family's story starts with Hoonie, a young Korean man born with physical deformities, but whose destiny comes from his inner strength and kindness. Hoonie's daughter, rather than bring shame on her family, leaves their homeland for Japan, where her children and grandchildren will be born and raised; yet prejudice against their Korean heritage
will prevent them from ever feeling at home...Lee's exceptional story of one family is the story of many of the world's people. They ask only for the chance to belong somewhere—and to be judged by their hearts and actions rather than by ideas of blood traits and bad seeds."--Seira Wilson
