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.

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.
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...

評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...
評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...
評分我看的是原著,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,...
