Quem é sua mãe?
Um dia, a mãe de Chi-Hon desaparece. Ela e a familia a procuram, espalham cartazes, vão atrás de direções passadas por pessoas que a avistaram. Enquanto isso cada um dos personagens reflete sobre a vida da sua mãe e sente culpa pela forma como a tratavam. Do que ela gostava? O que ela gostaria de fazer? Ela era feliz? Além da culpa de não a ter tratado com a dignidade que merecia, Eles também descobrem que o que conheciam dela era apenas uma parte, que ela não era só uma mãe, mas uma pessoa com sua vida, suas vontades e seus desejos.

A nice story idea but I wish execution wasn't as bad and as slow as it was

You don’t understand why it took you so long to realize something so obvious. To you, Mom was always Mom. It never occurred to you that she had once taken her first step, or had once been three or twelve or twenty years old. Mom was Mom. She was born as Mom.

This book… THIS BOOK!! Where do I begin?? Whenever I think about my own mother, I start crying. Not in a bad way, but in a ‘I love you so much and I want to give you the world but I can’t’ way. Even though this book was rich with Korean culture and history, I found myself picturing my own mother in some scenes. I thought the switch in POVs was really interesting, and it didn’t distract me from the story at all. I would recommend this book to someone who has t called their mom in a while, someone who hasn’t visited home in months, someone who hadn’t said I love you to their own mothers in a few days.
Please, everyone should read this book, and remind themselves that their mothers have done so much for them, and is children don’t even know half of the story.
Please, please look after mom.
