'Please Look After Mom' a must read selected by Oprah winfrey's O magazine

Did you ever wonder how your mom lived her life as a mother, a wife, and a woman?

There is a book entitled ¡®Please Look After Mom¡¯, written by Shin Kyoung-sook. This book reminds us of how we often take our mothers for granted.
It also helps us understand the importance of family and the meaning of sorrow.

In the beginning of the story, a family is on search for their mother who goes missing one afternoon amid the crowds of the Seoul Station subway.
'It¡¯s been one week since Mom went missing.' As soon as I read this sentence, tears were streaming down my cheeks.
The story unfolds as the family traces the trail of the missing mother. The narrative uses a mystery or detective story novel technique that captivates the reader.
The mother in the story is portrayed as someone who gives love endlessly, and her loss gradually makes the family realize how precious a being she is.

Each chapter presents a different perspective from the daughter, the son, the husband, and the mother herself.
As the perspective changes, an image of a devoted mother who sacrificed her whole life for the sake of the family emerges.
The book depicts the life of a mother who despite her many sacrifices and unconditional love is often neglected by her own family.

There is a Korean saying that goes ¡®We fix the barn after the horse is stolen.¡¯ In the same manner, we often do not see the importance of something until you miss it.
After reading this book, you will never think of your mother the same way again. This book is considered a master piece that makes all sons and daughters in the world say the words ¡°I love you, Mom.¡±
