A million-plus-copy best seller in Korea — a magnificent English-language debut poised to become an international sensation — this is the stunning, deeply moving story of a family's search for their mother, who goes missing one afternoon amid the crowds of the Seoul Station subway.
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.
You will never think of your mother the same way again after you read this book.

Quotes

  • Nurlan Süleymanovhas quoted5 years ago
    When you call out “Mom,” you want to believe that she’s healthy. That Mom is strong. That Mom isn’t fazed by anything. That Mom is the person you want to call whenever you despair about something in this city.

    Even if everyone in the world forgets, your daughter will remember. That your wife truly loved the world, and that you loved her.

    Mom, who liked to buy socks for everyone in the family, had in her dresser a growing collection of socks that her children didn’t take.
