Kyung-sook Shin is the author of numerous works of fiction and is one of South Korea’s most widely read and acclaimed novelists. She has been honored with the Manhae Literature Prize, the Dong-in Literature Prize, and the Yi Sang Literary Prize, as well as France’s Prix de l’Inaperçu. Please Look After Mom is her first book to appear in English and will be published in nineteen countries. Currently a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York City, she lives in Seoul.
This novel from widely acclaimed Korean author Shin focuses on motherhood and family guilt. Park So-nyo, mother of four now-adult children, has gone missing in a Seoul train station on the way to visit them. The novel is told in four parts, from the perspectives of, first, her daughter, and then, her firstborn son, her husband, and finally, So-nyo herself. Composed almost entirely in second-person narration, the writing is sharp, biting, and intensely moving. So-nyo’s children continually battle with their own guilt for not taking better care of her while reminiscing about the times when they were young, growing up in incredible poverty in the countryside. The children come to terms with their mother’s absence in their own ways, and their father repents for a lifetime of neglect. When So-nyo’s voice enters the narrative, the portrait of a troubled but loving family is complete. Secrets are revealed, and the heart of a mother is beautifully exposed. This Korean million-plus-copy best-seller is an impressive exploration of family love, poverty, and triumphing over hardship.

評分在這世上,每個人都是來的來,走的走,似乎隻有母親能證明我們曾經齣現過。分娩的痛苦是那麼強烈和明顯的記憶,鄉下的老人總是說那是女人在鬼門關轉瞭一圈。我不理解那種痛楚,但我能感受到她們想要形容的心情。從齣生那一刻,我們都和自己的母親有瞭一種注定的關聯,似血與水...

評分漫漫長路,慢慢讀
評分Just a pathetic, illiterate woman overwhelmed by her identity as Mom, being taken granted for sacrificing almost everything for the family yet neglected by the families. The story is not appealing to me.
