There are many aspects of the book that I think make it appealing to a wide range of readers — the historical backdrop of 20th century Korea, the multigenerational saga with a family secret simmering in the background, and the strong female protagonist. Here I have compiled a list of 12 books like Pachinko that have one or more of these characteristics. Once you’ve read these books like Pachinko, don’t miss the adaptation of the book, which is available to stream. Was it the setting of Pachinko that intrigued you the most?
