About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Harcourt Brace & Company, Inc., 1994. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Fine/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page. San Piedro Island in 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 a 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. Gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric, SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS is a masterpiece of suspense--but one that leaves us shaken and changed. Winner of the PEN Faulkner Award, SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS is the second book and first work of fiction by this author. Guterson is among the 'GRANTA 20' Best Young American Novelists.Very fine,first edition, first printing, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder=marked or price-clipped] L17/L105
Synopsis
Snow Falling on Cedars is a novel written by American writer David Guterson. Guterson, who at the time was a teacher, wrote the book in the early morning hours over a ten-year period. Because of the success of the novel, however, he quit his job and began to write full-time.
