I loved Pachinko and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Please take me out of my reading slump.
As the title says, these two are some of my favorite books, and I’m looking for similar stuff. I haven’t gotten hooked by a book in nearly a month and it’s slowly killing me.

Maybe try Lisa See’s books. They are set in China, but have a similar vibe.

If you loved Pachinko, you should definitely check out Straw Dogs of the Universe. To (*roughly*) sum it up in a few words: Pachinko but Chinese and (mostly) in California.

Salt Houses also follows that generational story line like Pachinko if that’s what you’re looking for.
