Guterson, David - Snow Falling on Cedars (Paperback)

In Snow Falling on Cedars, David Guterson weaves a deeply atmospheric story set on San Piedro Island, where a Japanese-American fisherman stands accused of murder in the wake of lingering wartime prejudice. Unfolding in the cold and snow-hung cedars of the Pacific Northwest, the narrative intertwines a courtroom drama with a past forbidden love and a community’s haunted memory. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction in 1995, this novel is as much about the weather-heavy landscape and memory as it is about guilt and redemption. It’s ideal for your adult fiction and literary fiction sections, for readers who appreciate layered storytelling, historical depth and emotional resonance.
