Please Look After Mom by Kyung-Sook Shin

Please Look After MomPlease Look After Mom by Kyung-Sook Shin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don't often give a book 5 stars, but this one deserves it. It is the most thought provoking story I have read in a long time, if ever. A woman gets separated from her husband one day and she misses the train to Seoul. She remains missing and her children, relatives, husband and friends all remember her. You may never think of your mother the same way again after reading this book.
