Please Look After Mom

 

“Please Look After Mom” by Kyung-Sook Shin
Published by Vintage Contemporaries
 
I have mixed feelings about this book.  I enjoyed the stories within, however, the way it’s written, I found it confusing at times as to who was narrating the story.  I also found it slow and hard to connect with any of the characters.  Some of these issues could have simply been due to cultural differences or maybe something being lost in translation (originally published in Korean). If you enjoy books centered around family dynamics and relationships, I would say give it a try.  It’s an award-winning novel so obviously others enjoyed it more than I did.
