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...
評分注册豆瓣3年的时间,这是我第一次写书评。这算不上一部书评。我只是推荐年轻人来读一读这部作品。或许你会更懂你的母亲,更懂你自己的错误。当在亚马逊看到这本书的时候,我在考虑要不要买。翻了翻唯一的一条评论,一句话打动了我,我决定买下来。 -------------“我发现,不...
評分文/落潇 家人,就是吃完饭后,任凭饭桌凌乱,也可以放心的去做别的事情,这是因为我们身后有个坚实的后盾,那就是母亲。母亲在我们的印象中总是忙忙碌碌、辛苦操劳、任劳任怨,凡是跟享受沾边的词语真的很难用来形容母亲。 《寻找母亲》中,作者以母亲失踪的事件作为...

评分對我 媽媽永遠比一切包括生命更重要
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.
