We will be reading Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and making kimchijeon (kimchi pancakes.)

Indulge in your passion for literature and cuisine at a unique book club where we combine the love of reading with the love of food! Each month, we'll dive into a new book and eat delicious snacks inspired by its themes. From fiction to non-fiction, our diverse selection of books will spark lively discussions as we share our impressions, thoughts, and interpretations. Don't miss out on this opportunity to bond with fellow book-lovers over a shared love of literature and food.

This month we will be reading Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.

In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant—and that her lover is married—she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.

We will be making kimchijeon (kimchi pancakes) to accompany our discussion of the book.
