In 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. That and the subsequent tsunami caused level 7 meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
I think you should go and download ''Flowers from Fukushima''. You won't be disappointed.
A moving and thoughtful non-fiction account of the 2011 disaster in Japan is [[Strong in the Rain: Surviving Japan's Earthquake, Tsunami, and Fukushima Nuclear Disaster by Lucy Birmingham and David McNeill]]. It's well worth reading. You might also enjoy [[The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh]].
