From the back cover...
"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 become 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..."
I received this book in a trade and had never seen the movie so had no idea what it was about. I don't know what I expected but it certainly wasn't a murder mystery! This was a very enjoyable read!
Sending to kawgrl as a trade for The Pilot's Wife
Just received today. Can't wait to get started on it. Thanks for the trade Kathtee, yours will be in the mail this week.
Thanks again for the trade Kathtee. I really enjoyed the murder mystery, it took place in my home state. I can't wait to check out the movie now too.
Another one on it's way to ciloma as part of the trade. I hope you enoy this one as much as I did. It's great to read about the PNW when you live here.
Received from kawgrl - what a nice suprise!!
What a lovely story!! I loved the (sometimes too long and) rambling descriptions and the story was compelling enough to keep me going. Always giving us a teaser to ponder and then sometimes taking it away or using it in an unsuspecting way later.
