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.

晚高峰拥挤的地铁车厢里能掩盖住咕咕作响饿瘪的肠胃,仿佛一个个嗷嗷待哺的婴儿,这不过是城市的轰鸣和喧嚣夺走了饥饿的宣言,换做故作镇定的隐忍,他们的胃连着千里之外的故乡,母亲在氤氲的厨房里铿锵有节奏的切着脆生生的青菜,伴随着灶上一口冒着水汽,咕嘟直响的锅。“所...
评分我看的是原著,也就是韩语版本。 当时我就想,翻成中文的话能不能完完全全表达出这么细腻的文字。 没想到中文版本的评价也如此的高,可见译者的翻译功夫也非同寻常。 花了4天的时间看完。 上班时的公交车上, 老公和孩子睡了之后的晚上,我都流过眼泪。 母亲没有自己的人生,...
评分文/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...
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.
