Rochester Speakers Series Book Club: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee In-Person
Join the Douglass Community Library for the first of three book clubs leading up to the Rochester Speaker Series: Speaking of Stories! We’ll dive into award-winning author Min Jin Lee’s acclaimed novel Pachinko, exploring its unforgettable characters, sweeping family story, and themes of identity, resilience, and belonging.
And there’s an extra perk: book club participants will receive a ticket to attend Min Jin Lee’s Rochester Speaker Series talk and will be entered into a drawing to win a signed copy of one of the author's books!
This is a free event, and all are welcome to join the conversation.

"In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger. When she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--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.
Profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty."
