After-Dark Book Club: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

Pachinko follows four generations of a Korean family beginning in 1911. The relationship at its center is that between Sunja, a 17-year-old Korean girl, who falls in love and gets pregnant by a handsome, wealthy – and unbeknownst to her – married middle-aged man, Hansu. Although she marries a Christian missionary to save her and her son from shame, Hansu (who is also a gangster) is never really out of the picture.
