Consider Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. Recommended by 11 sources.
“Begins close to Sunja’s life and then stretches across generations to track a Korean family living in Japan, alternating intimate domestic scenes with broader historical pressures. Its useful part is the sustained emotional accumulation: small acts of endurance and sacrifice pile up into a textured portrait of belonging, exile, and family duty. Its main limitation is scope and pacing—repeated setbacks and many named characters can feel relentless, and long historical stretches slow the momentum for readers who want tighter plotting.”
