Japan is a country prepared for earthquakes. Strict guidelines
govern new building construction and its citizens are regularly
instructed on what to do and how to behave. Nevertheless, nobody
was ready for what 2011 had in store for the country. That year, on
March the 11th, a powerful earthquake off the north-eastern coast
triggered a huge tsunami, resulting in a massive number of
casualties and the destruction of a nuclear power plant in
Fukushima. In the wake of the frightening event, many foreign
residents decided to leave the country, fearing the worst was yet
to come. On that day many lives changed forever, including those of
friends and book club buddies - Charlotte, Lauren, Fumiko,
Katherine and Sinead. The five friends had planned to meet on the
following Wednesday to discuss their book of the month,
Middlemarch, but that get-together was not meant to be. They didn't
lose their homes or their loved ones in the disaster, but the
seismic event shook them to their core. This is the story of the
five women and how they each reshaped their lives in the aftermath
of this shattering event.
Inspired by his cinema heroes, Robert dreams of performing good
deeds and rescuing people from dangerous situations. However, he is
also accident-prone! He joins forces with five friends, who have an
agenda of their own. Will their combined efforts be hampered by
Robert's constant mishaps? This is the second book about the
adventures of six friends, aptly named, THE HAPPY WANDERERS.
The Happy Wanderers is based on actual memories of the 1950s, when
children were allowed so much freedom. This work of fiction
explores the characters, relationships and escapades of six special
friends.
