    "description": "\u2018A remarkable and deeply moving book\u2019 Henry Marsh, bestselling author of Do No Harm\n\n\u2018A breathtaking, extraordinary work of non-fiction\u2019 Times Literary Supplement\n\nOn 11 March 2011, a massive earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of north-east Japan. It was Japan\u2019s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.\n\nRichard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake in Tokyo, and spent six years reporting from the epicentre. Learning about the lives of those affected through their own personal accounts, he paints a rich picture of the impact the tsunami had on day to day Japanese life.\n\nHeart-breaking and hopeful, this intimate account of a tragedy unveils the unique nuances of Japanese culture, the tsunami\u2019s impact on Japan\u2019s stunning and majestic landscape and the psychology of its people.\n\nGhosts of the Tsunami is an award-winning classic of literary non-fiction. It tells the moving, evocative story of how a nation faced an unimaginable catastrophe and rebuilt to look towards the future.\n\n**WINNER OF THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE**",
