The Big Wave by Pearl S. Buck*

A wonderful depiction of the Japanese culture and their way of thinking/living.
Kino lives on a farm with his family high in the mountains while his best friend Jiya lives next to the sea.
One day a tsunami sweeps away the fishing village and Jiya must learn to live again.
A great book about fear vs. enjoying life and rediscovering joy to live despite life's uncertainties.
Very old but still relevant! (copyright is 1947.)
*Highly recommend.
