Snow Falling on Cedars
ANNOTATION
In 1954 a fisherman from San Piedro Island in Puget Sound is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese-American is charged with his murder. The trial is haunted by memories of what happened to the Japanese residents during World War II when the entire community was sent into exile.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
On San Piedro, an island of rugged, spectacular beauty in Puget Sound, a Japanese-American fisherman stands trial for murder. Set in 1954 in the shadow of World War II, Snow Falling on Cedars is a beautifully crafted courtroom drama, love story, and war novel, illuminating the psychology of a community, the ambiguities of justice, the racism that persists even between neighbors, and the necessity of individual moral action despite the indifference of nature and circumstance.

Thank you so much! I'm soooooo glad you offered this on the relay! I've really been wanting to read this, but I was afraid I wouldn't have time to read it before I had to release it for my July Summer Blockbuster Release Challenge. It works out great, because I found this copy at Goodwill this week, so I can release the paperback and enjoy the hardback!
Thanks lots! :)
