Pachinko

I really enjoyed the beginning and middle of the book. I learned a lot about the history of Koreans in Japan and all of the discrimination that they had faced. However, once the book reached the Etsuko, Solomon, and Hana arc, it became a chore to read. I couldn't relate to any of the more “modern” characters and wished that Mozasu's friend Haruki had more of a story of his unique struggle.
