Book Summary –

Please Look After Mother is a deeply moving and emotionally powerful novel by South Korean author Kyung-Sook Shin. The story begins with the sudden disappearance of an elderly woman, So-nyo, at a crowded Seoul train station. As her husband and adult children search for her, each family member reflects on their memories, regrets, and the sacrifices she made throughout her life. Told from multiple perspectives—including the daughter, the son, the husband, and even the missing mother herself—the novel slowly reveals the inner life of a woman who gave everything to her family yet remained largely unseen and unappreciated. Through lyrical prose and emotional depth, the novel explores themes of motherhood, identity, guilt, and the often-unspoken emotional bonds within families. It is a poignant reminder of the quiet strength of mothers and the pain of realizing their value too late.
