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.

在这世上,每个人都是来的来,走的走,似乎只有母亲能证明我们曾经出现过。分娩的痛苦是那么强烈和明显的记忆,乡下的老人总是说那是女人在鬼门关转了一圈。我不理解那种痛楚,但我能感受到她们想要形容的心情。从出生那一刻,我们都和自己的母亲有了一种注定的关联,似血与水...
评分作者在其中用了第二人称来转换写,有一种很特别的感觉。 感觉像散文,不像小说。 但散文也是很长的很长的。作品并没有特别扣人心弦的情节,但是从作者笔下所透露出来的那种对母亲的愧疚和爱是可以感觉到的。
评分此书终于出了中文版,真的是很力荐的一本书,当地销售百万册还停留在畅销书榜,如果只让我推荐3本,此书会是一本,其他一本会是活着和卖血记中一个,另外一个保留权利... 书中描述一名到首尔看望子女的母亲在火车站丢失家人后, 从母亲角度对儿子,女儿,丈夫, 还有秘密的一个人讲述未...
评分关乎于描写亲情的书,并不是第一次看到,感动的、震撼的、让人悔愧的都有。但是申京淑女士的《寻找母亲》却是我看的第一部直抵人心的母爱小说。 全书以寻找前去首尔探望孩子,却被多年来一直习惯于走在前面的父亲不慎丢失的母亲开始,分别从女儿,儿子,丈夫的视角展开...
评分我一直不敢看与亲情有关的文艺作品,尤其是母亲,血浓于水的情意,创作者各种矫情都没办法叫矫情,眼泪水都会哗哗哗掉。这本书出自韩国当代女性作家之笔,细腻的笔触描绘出了一个忍辱负重的母亲的形象。 故事开源于一个问题:她是所有人的母亲,她是所有被忽略的母亲,如...
对我 妈妈永远比一切包括生命更重要
评分漫漫长路,慢慢读
评分this is a great and emotional book that's better finished in one sitting. Actually, once started, it is hard to put done. Even the book is set in Korea, it's very easy to understand and emote. Plus the translation is pretty good and the novel is not that long, it's kinda of a light read. anyway, a great book.
