Pachinko: The New York Times Bestseller by Min Jin Lee is more than just a novel; it’s a compelling saga that captures the heart and soul of the immigrant experience. This historical fiction masterpiece spans four generations, detailing the lives of a Korean family in Japan, exploring themes of love, resilience, and the quest for identity in the face of adversity.

Set against the backdrop of 20th-century Japan, Pachinko delves into the struggles and triumphs of individuals who navigate the complexities of cultural dislocation. The story intricately weaves issues of xenophobia and the pursuit of dreams, highlighting the emotional depth and fragility of human connections. As a finalist for the prestigious National Book Award and a million-copy bestseller, it has resonated with readers worldwide, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

This novel is not only a work of fiction but also serves as a cultural touchstone that sheds light on the often-overlooked immigrant narrative. In a time when discussions about identity and belonging are more relevant than ever, Pachinko stands out in the historical fiction genre through its richly developed characters and poignant storytelling.

Readers will find themselves immersed in the lives of the protagonists, feeling their joys and sorrows as they navigate a world filled with both challenges and hope. With its compelling narrative and emotional weight, Pachinko invites you to reflect on the meaning of family, sacrifice, and the relentless spirit of survival.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
