I found this book hard to read the first 3 chapters, then it all begins to make sense. I thought while I was reading it at first that it was to mke us feel guilty for the bomb. That is not the case, but you need the first three chapters to understand the rest of the book. Amazingly, I found it to be very timely. After you read it, think about the recent disasters and the difficulties for survivors and government's difficulty helping their people. It is an amazing book, only 5 chapters and for those of us who grew up with "The Bomb", I felt I know it all, this was an entirely new perspective. All of us in my book club were very moved by the book and the stories within it.
