false 77142 64 This is the kind of book where you can smell and hear and see the fictional world the writer has created, so palpably does the atmosphere come through. Set on an island in the straits north of Puget Sound, in Washington, where everyone is either a fisherman or a berry farmer, the story is nominally about a murder trial. But since it's set in the 1950s, lingering memories of World War II, internment camps and racism helps fuel suspicion of a Japanese-American fisherman, a lifelong resident of the islands. It's a great story, but the primary pleasure of the book is Guterson's renderings of the people and the place. 1677615 book 26 9 1994 Snow Falling on Cedars total:17320|5:2993|4:6682|3:5552|2:1680|1:413| 17320 62122 21091 1203 77142 067976402X 9780679764021 16230 1124 3.59 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170899934m/77142.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77142.Snow_Falling_on_Cedars 2 12 false Sun Feb 03 09:00:02 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 03 09:14:47 -0800 2008 Yeah.
