Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

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.

From Publishers Weekly

First-novelist Guterson presents a multilayered courtroom drama set in the aftermath of the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Vivid and Beautiful, Oct. 25 2008
Par Teddy (Richmond, BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
The year is 1954 and Kabuo Miyamoto a Japanese American fisherman is standing trial for murder in small town in Puget Sound Washington. Up until World War II, his family was growing strawberries and making payments towards owning the land they lived and worked on. With the onset so the war left for the land, they were sent away to a Japanese internment camp. After the war ended they came back to Puget Sound only to find the land that they had struggled for was sold.

The narrator of the story was the journalist covering the trial, Ishmael Chambers. As a child, he played with and later fell in love with Hatsue. When she was sent to the Japanese internment camp with her family, she sent Ishmael a "Dear John" letter. When she returned to Puget Sound, she was married to Kabuo Miyamoto.

Ishmael never stopped loving Hatsue and may be the only one to be able to uncover the truth and set Kabuo free. Will he let his feelings get in the way of doing the right thing?

This is a book of love, friendship, betrayal, honor, tradition, and racism. David's Guterson's characters ring true to me. His writing flows beautifully as he peels away the layers of the town and it's inhabitants. This is a fast reading book that I didn't want to put down. I highly recommend it!

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Carl Heine a local fisherman is found dead tangled up in his fishing net. The sheriff takes the body to be examined and the corner finds a head trauma that reminds him of the type of trauma caused by a gun butt, the type a Japanese soldier would be trained to inflict. The Sheriff searches the boat of the American citizen of Japanese descent, Kabuo, and finds enough evidence to charge him with the murder of Carl Heine.

"Snow Falling on Cedars" is a book that confronts racism and its blinding effect it has on intelligent people. The book takes place eight years after the end of the World War II and the people of San Piedro Island are mistrustful of the Japanese in their community. The Japanese of the community had been sent off to exile during the war losing all their possessions. Though Kabuo even served in the war fighting Germans on behalf of the Americans the town people are convinced he is responsible for Carl's death. The interesting point here is that Carl is of German descent, but since there is no great physical difference between him and the majority of the population like there is with the Japanese no one mistrusts Carl for an instant.

Ishmael the town reporter is a sorrowful character with no life to speak of. He was involved with Kabuo's wife when they were teenagers, but she detached herself from him and he became bitter and cursed the Japanese when he fought them in war for they reminded him of Hatsue and her lack of love for him. He carries a grudge for pretty much the rest of his life, and is a social outcast, much like Ishmael from "Moby Dick"

The book is about different types of losses, each character losing a different thing, Carl his life, Kabuo his freedom and his father's land, Hatsue her innocence, and Ishmael his love or physical obsession with Hatsue.

I found Hatsue fascinating; I could not figure out why she spent so much physical time with Ishmael who lusted after her in their private cedar tree, but ignored her in public. I was glad when Hatsue finally realized how wrong he was for her and that when she was with him it was wrong.

A satisfying read, but I did find myself skimming some areas because the book got wordy and repeated itself. It ended differently than I had predicted which is a pleasant surprise because I usually predict correctly.

Par Un client
This review is from: Snow Falling on Cedars (Paperback)
I really love this book. I could not put this book down and found myself reading it until 3 o'clock in the morning. I love David Gutterson is a master of storytelling. The best book I have ever read and I will keep this book forever. I also saw the movie and was absolutely moved by it but the book tells everything. I love Ishmael and the love of his life.
I wish there is another sequel to it, maybe when they get old they get back together.

Thanks David you are the best.
