Please Look After Mom by Kyung-sook Shin

This was a bit of an oddity. It attempts to use second person all the way through which is hard to do and slightly confusing to follow. It tells the story through the perspective of four different people which is also odd but does lead to some interesting insights. The ending is a bit confusing and hard to decipher. However, it had some great stuff to say about the nature of families and how we often don't know everything about the people we claim to know so well. I enjoyed it and enjoyed getting a peek into Korean family life.
