The fourth and last book of my September TBR was Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.
Being more of a Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror reader, reading historical fiction focusing on a single family is really outside my comfort zone. Yes, I read plenty books during my literary studies, but in my free time, I rarely touch other genres. This book teaches me that it's well worth having a look at new things. It was a deep and emotional experience, simply the best book I read this year so far. Full five stars.

That book is amazing, one that stays with you (my criteria for 5 stars). So much new information and such strong emotional engagement! Historical Fiction is my #1 genre but I'm happy to veer into great SF, Fantasy, or Mystery a few times/year.
How High We Go In The Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu was one of those.
