Ibu Tercinta - Please Look After Mom

This is one of those books that is so hard to classify. Hard to read yet beautiful. It was like going to therapy. It made me examine my relationship with my own family and it also made me think about my role as a mother. It made me think a lot about regret and how to live without it.

“Mother doesn’t smile. She doesn’t cry. Did Mother know? That I, too, needed her my entire life?”

I saw someone else describe this book as unforgettable and I think I can only agree. I read this book throughout an entire day and it made me experience all sort of emotions as I did. Most importantly, it made me question my own view of motherhood and how I need to reflect on my relationships regarding my mother, but also the vast relationships I have in general.

Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the different povs and the way the author went about delaying those to us. Would definitely recommend it to anyone that’s willing to take their time and immerse themselves in the story of this family and how one event altered the view on their lives forever.
