Please Look After Mom by author is a beautiful, profoundly poignant account of a family’s quest for their missing mother and their learning of the desires, heartaches, and secrets she was hiding.The children of So-nyo, who is 69 years old, are overcome with shrill accusations and are drowning in sadness and shame when they discover their mother has been separated from her husband amid the bustle of the Seoul subway station. They discover that none of them have a current picture of Mom while they fight about the “Missing” flyers they are placing throughout the city—how much of a prize to offer, how to word the text. A bigger question will soon arise.
