12/7: Different Eras- Historical Fiction Book Club at Booksweet

Join us for a cozy afternoon at Booksweet for our Historical Fiction Book Club on Sunday, February 22! We selected by Min Jin Lee for our February read. Whether you're a history buff or just starting to explore the genre, this book club is for you! To help transport the club to another time and place, we will also offer tea and refreshments!

Your Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning!

About the book

In this New York Times bestseller, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan–the inspiration for the television series on Apple TV+.

In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger. When she discovers she is pregnant–and that her lover is married–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.

Profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty.

So... what's this book club like?

We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don't mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts!

After a good discussion, the group votes on the next session's read. Feel free to pitch a book you've enjoyed recently or share a new book that you want to read with the group.

While we will have tea, water, and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options), Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don't feel shy about sipping boba while we chat!

We hope to see you there!
