Bought this at a library sale. Like I need more books!! ;-)

I'm doing a "rehaul" of my reading material, and thus many books are being pulled from my shelf.
Though this is probably an interesting book, I am listing it as available, and might become part of one of my upcoming bookboxes, or given away in one of my contests.

Going to a winner of my "Win Something and Do Something in Return" Contest! Enjoy!

This book was waiting from me when I returned from my vacation. Thanks!!

From the back of the book..."San Piedro Island, north of Puget Sound is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies. But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder.
In the course of the ensuing trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than one man's guilt. For on San Piedro, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries--memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to be Kabuo's wife; 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 neighbors watched."

My thoughts...a multi-layered book. It tells of the prejudices, injustices, and relationships of San Piedro pre, during, and post World War II. It is also a whodunit. What happened on the foggy Puget Sound the night fisherman, Carl Heine died. This was a very good read.
