But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the course of the ensuing trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man's guilt. For on San Pedro, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16155344\"\u003eDavid Guterson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.16h x 5.05w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679764021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067976402X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC054000\"\u003eAsian American \u0026amp; Pacific Islander\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC030000\"\u003eThrillers | Suspense\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDAVID GUTERSON is the author of several novels: the national best seller \u003ci\u003eSnow Falling on Cedars\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eEast of the Mountains; Our Lady of the Forest, \u003c\/i\u003e a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book and a \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of the Year; \u003ci\u003eThe Other;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEd King.\u003c\/i\u003e He is also the author of two story collections, two books of poetry, a memoir, and the work of nonfiction \u003ci\u003eFamily Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense.\u003c\/i\u003e The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, he lives in Washington state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380369485963,"sku":"9780679764021","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_ad61656c-f174-496f-8b4a-32fe24925e21.jpg?v=1760541755","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/snow-falling-on-cedars-a-novel-penfaulkner-award-9780679764021","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
