Pachinko - Min Jin Lee

This book is a history lesson of Koreans who lived in Japan from shortly before WWII through the 1980s.  I had not known they were treated as 2nd class citizens, even those born and raised over multiple generations.  To cover the time frame, the book is over 500 pages and at times dragged on without moving the story forward.  Often chapters would end and jump ahead many years without any transition.  I liked learning about this period but felt it could have been covered in fewer pages.
