Join us for a discussion of Kyung Sook Shin's novel.
When sixty-nine-year-old So-nyo is separated from her husband among the
crowds of the Seoul subway station, her family begins a desperate search
to find her. Yet as long-held secrets and private sorrows begin to
reveal themselves, they are forced to wonder: how well did they actually
know the woman they called Mom?
Told through the piercing voices and urgent perspectives of a daughter, son, husband, and mother, Please Look After Mom is at once an authentic picture of contemporary life in Korea and a universal story of family love.
