A murder trial exposes love, prejudice and memory

Good Condition – moderate cover and edge wear with page-edge tanning.

On the isolated island of San Piedro in 1954, Japanese American fisherman Kabuo Miyamoto is accused of murdering Carl Heine, a fellow fisherman found dead in his nets. As a snowstorm closes around the courthouse, the trial awakens resentments rooted in wartime internment, lost land and the community’s uneasy history. Local journalist Ishmael Chambers follows the case while confronting his enduring love for Kabuo’s wife, Hatsue, and the choices that separated them. Testimony and memory gradually reveal how private grief and public prejudice can distort the search for truth. David Guterson’s atmospheric novel moves between courtroom drama, wartime history and a lost romance, using the Pacific Northwest landscape to deepen its meditation on justice, chance and moral responsibility. Snow Falling on Cedars is both a compelling mystery and a richly layered portrait of a community divided by fear.
