I'd read a review of Please Look After Mom
Please Look After Mom
Shin tells the story from four perspectives: daughter, son, husband and wife. Each reveals aspects of Park So-nyo's life and her family life. The emotions that the story invokes goes beyond cultural lines: helplessness, desperation, shame, admiration, guilt, regret, and deep respect. Other reviewers have mentioned how Park So-nyo's story made them think of their lives and I echo this response, reading the book has me examining the close relationships in my life.
