About Snow Falling on Cedars:

Set on the fictional Puget Sound island of San Piedro in 1954, Snow Falling on Cedars revolves around the trial of Kabuo Miyamoto, who has been accused of the murder of a local fisherman. Anti-Japanese feelings still run strong on an island that relocated its Japanese-American residents to internment camps during World War II, just a few years earlier. Both suspenseful and beautifully crafted, Snow Falling on Cedars portrays the psychology of a community, the ambiguities of justice, the racism that persists even between neighbors, and the necessity of individual moral action despite the indifference of nature and circumstance.

He is the author of the novels East of the Mountains, Our Lady of the Forest, and most recently, Ed King. He is a contributing editor at Harper's magazine and lives on an island in Puget Sound.
