About this book
In a fishing village in Japanese-occupied Korea, a young woman named Sunja falls pregnant by a wealthy stranger and accepts a marriage proposal that carries her to Osaka. What follows is the story of four generations of one Korean family in Japan, navigating poverty, prejudice, pachinko parlours and the slow accumulation of small choices that shape a bloodline. The narration moves between many characters, granting each their own interior weather. Spanning most of the twentieth century, it is a patient, absorbing epic about belonging, dignity and the quiet endurance of women who are rarely given credit.
