About loss, it becomes a redemptive book about the power of love. She was only to learn later that this was a tsunami that devastated coastlines through Southeast Asia.

It is also a remarkable portrait of a young family's life and what came before, with all the small moments and larger dreams that suddenly and irrevocably ended.. Universally acclaimed around the world and a national bestseller in North America, "Wave"

Having been picked up by a Jeep, the waters caught them nonetheless. Bin the dark. Tough, realistic, beautiful Japan Reader This is both an easy read and a very tough one. I found it quick and seamless to actually read, but the pain - and its naked brutality at times - could be hard to take. Still, the writing is beautiful in its simplicity, and the way the author is able to recreate her sons and family, and finally get close to them in memory as she heals, is heartwarming an
