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 David Guterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067976402X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679764021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e28547 \/ Snow Falling on Cedars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e PEN\/Faulkner Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/05\/1995 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/1995 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1995 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/04\/1995","brand":"David Guterson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054962405631,"sku":"9780679764021","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecee2423-fbac-4b24-a608-f2d94cf68bd7.jpg?v=1685032990","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snow-falling-on-cedars-david-guterson-9780679764021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
