The Pachinko Parlour EPUB
by Elisa Shua Dusapin
EPUB
Description
It is summer in Tokyo. Claire finds herself dividing her time between tutoring ten-year-old Mieko in an apartment in an abandoned hotel, and lying on the floor at her grandparents' home: daydreaming, playing Tetris and listening to the sounds from the street above.
The heat rises; the days slip by. When her grandparents first arrived in Tokyo, fleeing the civil war in Korea, they opened Shiny, a pachinko parlour.
Shiny is still open, drawing people in with its bright, flashing lights and promises of good fortune. And as Mieko and Claire gradually bond, a tender relationship growing, Mieko's determination to visit the pachinko parlour builds and with it, Claire's own desire to visit Korea with her grandparents. The Pachinko Parlour is a nuanced and beguiling exploration of identity and otherness, unspoken histories, and the loneliness you can feel amongst family.
Crisp and enigmatic, Dusapin's writing glows with intelligence.
