Read from May 10 to June 13, 2013
"Please Look After Mother". Just reading its mere title
would make you eager to read the book, also you can tell that it would
be an amazing read. In fact, many things about this novel contribute in
making it a great one: the writing style, the fact that each section of
the book in narrated by a different person, and the content/story.
The novel is telling the story of a family that lost their Mother. Each
member of this family keeps remembering this or that about their Mother
and regret not being a good son/daughter/husband to her, not that they
treated her ill, but everyone just forgot about Mother as soon as they
stopped being kids.
This book actually made me feel guilty towards
my own Mother, because Mothers really need to be highly thought of, and
kindly treated. Everyone are sometimes annoyed because of their Mother's
nagging, but we actually forget that Mother is a human being, who have
her own dreams, her own fears, her own disppointements, her own
weakness, and we keep thinking of her as Mother, that has to sacrifice
everything for the sake of her children.
All in all, this book should be read by everyone!!
