Please Look After Mom

It was Lisa's turn to pick a book, and she chose Please Look After Mom by Kyung-sook Shin. The blurb from Amazon:

When sixty-nine-year-old So-nyo is separated from her husband among the crowds of the Seoul subway station, her family begins a desperate search to find her. Yet as long-held secrets and private sorrows begin to reveal themselves, they are forced to wonder: how well did they actually know the woman they called Mom?

We got together at Lisa's house on February 4th, where she put on a great spread for brunch: potato leek soup, mushroom quiche, and raspberry muffins (all homemade of course). Plus brownies. Delicious!

I don't think anyone really loved the book, though some people liked it more than others. I found it very readable but was not crazy about it.

Amazingly, everyone attended, and everyone read the whole book! (Except Debbie--it's a bit hard to drop in from New York. :)
