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, memory grows 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.

'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 'The death of a fisherman turns into a murder trial and a test of passions brewed since Pearl Harbour between two heritages claustrophobically locked on one dot of land. Love and morality are beautifully choreographed into an exceptional debut novel' Daily Mail '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

Condición: Muy bueno. : En la isla de San Piedro, al norte de Puget Sound, donde la belleza agreste y espectacular es el hogar de pescadores de salmón y cultivadores de fresas, un pescador japonés-americano es juzgado por asesinato. En 1954, la sombra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, con su brutalidad en el extranjero y el internamiento de japoneses-americanos en casa, se cierne sobre la sala del tribunal. Ishmael Cambers, 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.
