“Just a wonderful, sweeping novel. If Pachinko was a family epic across time, this book is an epic across space, spanning Korea, Australia, the US and more. The characters are wonderful, themes are timely, and even though I couldn't stop reading it, I was so sad to see the book come to an end.”

“Second what Samin said. I’m buzzing in the afterglow of a truly remarkable book. Sweeping and intimate. This book cemented Min Jin Lee as one of my favorite authors and this book joins Pachinko as an all-time favorite.”

“Yerin Ha (star of the most recent Bridgerton season!!) narrates this beautifully. I don’t like when narrators try too hard to do very distinct voices for every character - she has a really nice subtle way of distinguishing between each one, and it doesn’t ever take me out of the story. Would listen to anything else she narrates. (Also she’s amazing in Bridgerton if you haven’t watched yet)”

“Love a sweeping family saga, and Min Jin Lee never misses.”
