Please Look After Mom
$8.80
The story begins with a mother from the countryside disappearing at a subway station in Seoul. As the family traces the disappeared mother's footsteps and reconstructs memories, the narrative maintains a tight tension reminiscent of a detective novel. The mother, who always seemed to be a presence ready to give infinite love, becomes even more precious and approaches the family in a new light through her disappearance.
Each chapter unfolds from the perspectives of the children, husband, and through the eyes of the missing mother. As the story progresses with the changing viewpoints of the daughter, son, and husband, the vivid image of the mother, who has dedicated her life to her family, is brought back to life. The novel delicately portrays the lives of the mother and the inner worlds of the family members, each holding onto aspects of her life that they either didn't know well or had inadvertently overlooked.
