Wow. The reviews of this book are true--you really won't be able to think about your mom in the same way again after reading this! Though the translation is somewhat awkward at times, this is a powerful story about the sacrifices that a mother makes for her children and how easily that is taken for granted.

I loved the first chapter. The second was okay. But when it got to the rest of it, I felt so bored, especially the last chapter.

The writing feels static, but perhaps the emotions of the plot were lost in translation.

One of the most beautiful and heartfelt books I have ever read.

I have a renewed appreciation for mothers, especially my own.
