On the cover of Free
Food For Millionaires there is a blurb from part of a Times review that
says 'a big, beguiling book'.
This captures this book perfectly for me. It is big at over 500 pages but the author is
so accomplished that you are completely drawn in.
The story follows a year or so in the lives of Casey
Han the daughter of Korean immigrants to the US and her sister and best
friend. That doesn't sound exciting but
believe me this book is a great read.
The weakest thing about the book is the title which
doesn't really capture the flavour of the book for me.
I loved Pachinko and want to go back and read this one.
ReplyDeleteThis too was my introduction to Min Jin Lee. I took it out from the library based on the title! She is a great writer and Pachinko is even more of an achievement. Here is a link to my review: https://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2017/07/pachinko.html
