From the author of the 2017 National Book Award Finalist PACHINKONPR Fresh Air Top Ten Books of the Year * USA Today Top Ten Books of the Year * The Times (London) Top Ten Books of the Year From the award-winning author of PACHINKO, a bestselling, "ambitious and compulsively readable" (San Francisco Chronicle) American story of class, society and identity.

I was excited to read this book, having heard such fantastic reviews. It was a fairly well-paced book, with a good plot, and real characters.
