Synopsis
In 1954 a fisherman is found dead in the nets of his boat, and a local Japanese-American man is charged with his murder. In the course of his trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than one man's guilt. For on San Piedro, memories grow as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries - memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and a Japanese girl; memories of land desired, paid for, and lost. Above all, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbours watched.

Review
'This is classic whodunnit territory but Guterson's fiercely intelligent and moving novel is far more than a murder mystery ... Guterson has written a novel about the human condition that marvellously combines tenderness and excitement' The Times 'A skilfully constructed, deeply affecting story of love and death ... This is a hugely attractive book, written in clipped elegant prose' Sunday Times 'Compelling ... a flawlessly written first novel' New York Times 'Love and morality are beautifully choreographed into an exceptional debut novel' Daily Mail

Condition: Bueno. : En la isla de San Piedro, un lugar de espectacular belleza en Puget Sound, un pescador japonés-americano es juzgado por asesinato. Es 1954, y la sombra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, con su brutalidad en el extranjero y el internamiento de los japoneses-americanos en casa, se cierne sobre la sala del tribunal. Ishmael Chambers, quien perdió un brazo en la guerra del Pacífico y ahora dirige el periódico de la isla heredado de su padre, está entre los periodistas que cubren el juicio, un juicio que lo acerca, una vez más, a Hatsue Miyamoto, la esposa del acusado y el amor de infancia nunca olvidado de Ishmael. Ahora, mientras una fuerte nevada dificulta el progreso del juicio de Kabuo Miyamoto, él y otros deben enfrentarse al pasado, con la cultura, la naturaleza y el amor, y con las posibilidades de la voluntad humana. Tanto suspense como bellamente elaborado, Snow Falling on Cedars retrata la psicología de una comunidad, las ambigüedades de la justicia, el racismo que persiste incluso entre vecinos y la necesidad de una acción moral individual a pesar de la indiferencia de la naturaleza y las circunstancias.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
