He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--she refuses to bend to his will. Instead she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home and reject her son's powerful father sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through generations. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richly told and profoundly moving, \n\u003ci\u003ePachinko \u003c\/i\u003eis a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty.
