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.

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 评分 评分寻找母亲这本书并不是在寻找母亲,而是在寻找一个感情寄托的地点。作者很巧妙地运用亲情来打动我们,同时采用第二人称的写法,让她对自己的责备变成了对我们读者的责备,确实是比较高明的一种写法。 但是这篇文章采用第二人称也有问题,在另一个女人这一章中常常让人感到一头雾...

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.
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.
