A review by achenaille
Up from the Sea by Leza Lowitz

4.0

While about a recent event in history, this novel in verse tells about the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 in Japan. The focus is on a teenage boy who loses his family in the natural disasters and how he copes and tries to rebuild their village. Extremely moving and beautiful depiction of a horrific time.
