Books by Richard Lloyd Parry
“Richard Lloyd Parry was a foreign correspondent in Tokyo at the time of the Japanese tsunami in 2011. In telling the story of that disaster, he focuses on one village primary school where almost all the children lost their lives, and the long investigation into whether their teachers were partly to blame for their deaths. It turns into a rich and moving story about the attempts of the parents to seek justice, and the traumatic effects of the tsunami not only on the communities most immediately affected, but on Japanese society as a whole.” Read more...
