SUMMARY:Brown Bag Books - Pachinko
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Books - Pachinko  The April book selection is Pachink
 o by Min Jin Lee (fiction).\nIn the early 1900s\, teenaged Sunja\, the ado
 red 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\, sick
 ly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to aband
 on her home\, and to reject her son's powerful father\, sets off a dramati
 c saga that will echo down through the generations.\nRichly told and profo
 undly moving\, Pachinko is a story of love\, sacrifice\, ambition\, and lo
 yalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest univers
 ities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld\, Lee's complex a
 nd passionate characters--strong\, stubborn women\, devoted sisters and so
 ns\, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indiff
 erent arc of history" (Amazon)  Please join us on April 2nd at noon in th
