A riveting account of the devastating tsunami of 2011. Although I mistakenly bought this book thinking it was literally about ghosts, which it does touch briefly upon, it focuses mainly on an elementary school where most of the children died. It's intense and very sad, and brought about a new understanding of this tragedy and those who survived.
