'Bending Adversity' provides a fresh and surprising portrait of Japan and the Japanese. Despite years of stagnation, Japan remains one of the world's largest economies and a country which exerts a remarkable cultural fascination. David Pilling's book is an entertaining, deeply knowledgeable analysis of a group of islands which have shown great resilience, both in the face of financial distress and when confronted with the overwhelming disaster of the 2011 earthquake.
