shrimpburrito 's review for:
Please Look After Mom
by Kyung-sook Shin
Significant events in my adult life provided me with a clearer understanding of my mother.
This book was incredibly hard to read because it made me question my efforts and presence as a daughter. Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different character and their relationship to mother, who is not only a mother, but also a wife, sister, daughter and human being. The entire book is such a heartfelt tribute to a life lived selflessly for others.
I underlined a bunch of quotes, but the one that really resonated with me was short, yet deeply touching.
Hugs from mothers are a great source of physical and emotional healing. The ending of the book is sure to leave you sitting in silence for a few minutes while you think about the boundless love of motherhood.

'My baby,' Mother says, and opens her arms.
