I also am about halfway through. It’s a very good book. I did not realize that Japan was so prepared for disasters, but it certainly makes obvious sense now. Tsunamis were not something I was really aware of until probably the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia. I experienced earthquakes when I lived in Seattle but don’t remember any talk about tsunamis.
Thanks for the recommendations on other books, astrangerhere. I have wanted to read something by Ruth Ozeki.
