The Times (London) Top Ten Books of the Year The nationally bestselling, "ambitious and compulsively readable" (San Francisco Chronicle) American story of class, society and identity. The daughter of Korean immigrants, Casey Han has refined diction, a closeted passion for reading the Bible, a popular white boyfriend, and a magna cum laude degree in economics from Princeton, but no job and an addiction to the things she cannot afford in the glittering world of Manhattan. In this critically-acclaimed debut, Min Jin Lee tells not only Casey's story, but also those of her sheltered mother, scarred father, and friends both Korean and Caucasian, exposing the astonishing layers of a community clinging to its old ways and a city packed with struggling haves and have-nots.   source: abebooks.com

«Potevano esserci solo pochi vincitori, accanto a molti perdenti. Eppure noi continuavamo a giocare.» Corea, anni Trenta. Quando Sunja sale sul battello che la porterà a Osaka, in Giappone, verso una vita di cui non sa nulla, non immagina di star cambiando per sempre il destino del figlio che porta in grembo e delle generazioni a venire. Sa solo che non dimenticherà mai il suo Paese, la Corea colpita a morte dall'occupazione giapponese, e in cui tuttavia la vita era lenta, semplice, e dolce come le torte di riso di sua madre. Dolce come gli appuntamenti fugaci sulla spiaggia con l'uomo che l'ha fatta innamorare per poi tradirla, rivelandosi già sposato. Per non coprire di vergogna la locanda che dà da vivere a sua madre, e il ricordo ancora vivo dell'amatissimo padre morto troppo presto, Sunja lascia così la sua casa, al seguito di un giovane pastore che si offre di sposarla. Ma anche il Giappone si rivelerà un tradimento: quello di un Paese dove non c'è posto per chi, come lei, viene dalla penisola occupata. Perché essere coreani nel Giappone del XX secolo, attraverso tutte le tempeste che la Storia riserverà a quegli anni densi e implacabili, è come giocare al gioco giapponese proibito, il pachinko: un azzardo, una battaglia contro forze più grandi che solo uno sfacciato, imprevedibile colpo di fortuna può    Source : http://www.edizpiemme.it/libri/la-moglie-coreana

ΓΙΟΝΓΚΝΤΟ, ΚΟΡΕΑ, 1911. Σε ένα μικρό ψαροχώρι στην ακτή της Ανατολικής θάλασσας, ένας ψαράς παντρεύεται ένα δεκαπεντάχρονο κορίτσι. Το φτωχό ζευγάρι φέρνει στον κόσμο μια κόρη, την πολύτιμή τους Σάντζα. Η ΑΝΑΠΑΝΤΕΧΗ εγκυμοσύνη της Σάντζα μόλις στα δεκαέξι της χρόνια από έναν παντρεμένο άντρα, φέρνει την οικογένεια αντιμέτωπη με την ταπείνωση. Όμως, ο Ίσακ, ένας νεαρός ιερέας, της δίνει την ευκαιρία να τον ακολουθήσει στην Ιαπωνία και να ζήσουν μαζί ως σύζυγοι. Η ΣΑΝΤΖΑ ακολουθεί έναν άντρα που μόλις έχει γνωρίσει σε μια εχθρική, για εκείνη, χώρα όπου δεν έχει φίλους, ούτε σπίτι, και δεν μπορεί να επικοινωνήσει με τους ανθρώπους αφού δεν γνωρίζει τη γλώσσα. Έτσι ξεκινά η μοναδική αφήγηση μιας οικογένειας μεταναστών, που εκτείνεται σε τέσσερις γενιές και οκτώ δεκαετίες. Μέσα από τους απέλπιδους αγώνες και τους σκληρά κερδισμένους θριάμβους, τα μέλη της παραμένουν βαθιά συνδεδεμένα καθώς αντιμετωπίζουν ζητήματα πίστης, ταυτότητας και διαρκούς επιβίωσης.

Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl by way of Jenny Han in this knock-out debut about a Korean American teen who is thrust into the competitive, technicolor world of K-pop, from Jessica Jung, K-pop legend and former lead singer of one of the most influential K-pop girl groups of all time, Girls Generation. From internationally renowned K-pop legend Jessica Jung comes a fresh YA novel that peels back the curtain on the intense world of K-pop from the perspective of a Korean American girl, like Jessica, who is scouted off the street and thrust into an unknown world of competition, strict training and wild fame. What would you give for a chance to live your dreams? For eighteen-year-old Korean American Rachel Kim, the answer is almost everything. Six years ago, she was recruited by DB Entertainment - one of Seoul's largest K-pop labels, known for churning out some of the world's most popular stars. The rules are simple: Train 24/7. Be perfect. Don't date. Easy right? Not so much. As the dark scandals of an industry bent on controlling and commodifying beautiful girls begin to bubble up, Rachel wonders if she's strong enough to be a winner, or if she'll end up crushed ... Especially when she begins to develop feelings for K-pop star and DB golden boy Jason Lee. It's not just that he's charming, sexy and ridiculously talented. He's also the first person who really understands how badly she wants her star to rise. Get ready as Jessica Jung, K-pop legend and former lead singer of Korea's most famous girl group, Girls Generation, takes us inside the luxe, hyper-colour world of K-pop, where the stakes are high, but for one girl, the cost of success - and love - might be even higher. It's time for the world to see: this is what it takes to SHINE. Source : https://www.bookdepository.com/Shine-Jessica-Jung/9781405297387

L'histoire nous a failli, mais qu'importe. . Début des années 1930.. Dans un petit village coréen, la jeune Sunja se laisse séduire par les belles paroles et tendres attentions d'un riche étranger. Lorsqu'elle découvre qu'elle est enceinte et que son amant est déjà marié, elle est confrontée à un choix : devenir, comme tant d'autres jeunes femmes dans sa situation, une seconde épouse, une « épouse coréenne » ou couvrir sa famille de déshonneur. Elle choisira une troisième voie : le mariage avec Isak, un pasteur chrétien qu'elle connaît à peine et qui lui offre une nouvelle existence au Japon. Cette décision est le point de départ d'un douloureux exil qui s'étendra sur huit décennies et quatre générations.. Avec une justesse historique remarquable et une écriture précise et dépouillée, Min Jin Lee nous offre, à travers un siècle de relations nippo-coréennes, un hymne intime et poignant à tous les sacrifices que font les immigrés pour trouver leur place en pays étrangers..
