paigefy 's review for:

Please Look After Mom by Kyung-sook Shin
5.0

it's interesting that many reviews seem irritated about how the mom was portrayed as "perfect." the storytelling is defined by guilt, grief, reminiscence, and helplessness. the narration is subjective and told through that lens. of course the characters are ruminating on the good qualities of the missing mother that went unacknowledged and unappreciated throughout her lifetime?
