The missing mom in this book is so similar to my mom. My mom also doesn't know how to read but she gave birth to me, her only daughter who absolutely love reading.

She will always made me read every documents, letters and invitations that she got because she can't read it. I know that she's ashamed of it and resentful of my grandmother for not letting her go to school because she was expected to take care of her younger siblings as the eldest sister, even if it means she have to sacrifice her own future and life for it.

There's too much similarities between the missing mom and my own mom that I think it will take a few hours for me to explain all of it but overall, This book is the kind of book that will stuck with me for the rest of my life and It will always make me remember to look after my mom till the end of time.

This is a very depressing read. When the mother went missing, none that closed to her, her family, knows basic information about her. Birth date, picture, what the mother likes, her habit. And what most important her loneliness inside her heart. The children taking her for granted, husband who is too timid to express his love and devotion.

I don not like the writing. Its too much description that I found annoying.
Well I never think I would say this when I finish reading it: I am glad I finish this book.
