The Reluctant Terrorist: In Search of the Jizo

The Reluctant Terrorist: In Search Of The Jizo is set in Twentieth Century Hong Kong and Japan, with flashbacks to the Second World War. A Japanese businessman takes a deliberately modest revenge against another Japanese family which damaged his own family during the Second World War. His surprising act of terrorism is a paradoxical gesture for peace.
