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, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly told and profoundly moving, \u003ci\u003ePachinko\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty.
