Format: Paperback Editorial Review
Kyung-Sook Shin's "Please Look After Mom" is a poignant story about the universal experience of motherhood and the complexities of familial relationships. The narrative is beautifully told and explores the perspectives of each family member as they come to terms with the sudden disappearance of their mother. Through their individual accounts, Shin provides a rich tapestry of Korean culture and the immigrant experience. The use of traditional Korean 2nd person narrative adds a unique layer to the story and showcases the author's considerable talent. Although the plot may not be "action-packed," readers will appreciate the incremental flow and accumulation of knowledge, consciousness, discovery, and understanding for both the characters and the reader. In short, "Please Look After Mom" is a touching and realistic depiction of motherhood and family relationships that is sure to resonate with readers across cultures and backgrounds.
