Publisher's Summary

A million-plus-copy best seller in Korea - a magnificent English-language debut poised to become an international sensation - this is the stunning, deeply moving story of a family’s search for their mother, who goes missing one afternoon amid the crowds of the Seoul Station subway. 

Told through the piercing voices and urgent perspectives of a daughter, son, husband, and mother, Please Look After Mom is at once an authentic picture of contemporary life in Korea and a universal story of family love. 

You will never think of your mother the same way again after you listen to this book.

Great Character Development

This book took the story of a poorly educated, loving mom that was taken for granted by her family. It was well read. I enjoyed listening to it.
