New York, NY St. Martin's Press Inc. 1996., 1996. Paperback. Fine. Octavo, softcover. fine in gold and green pictorial wraps. Novel about a young Chinese man, on the eve of the Second World War, who is sent to his family's summer home in Japan to recover from tuberculosis. While there he meets four local residents-a beautiful Japanese girl and three older people, and the peace and solitude that he enjoyed becomes a time of adventure and discovery. 211 pp., New York, NY St. Martin's Press Inc. 1996., 1996, 5, Very Good. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award American Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award San Piedro Island, north of Puget Sound, is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies.  But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder.  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.  Gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric, Snow Falling on Cedars is a masterpiece of suspense-- one that leaves us shaken and changed. ""Haunting.... A whodunit complete with courtroom maneuvering and surprising turns of evidence and at the same time a mystery, something altogether richer and deeper.""-- Los Angeles Times ""Compelling...heartstopping. Finely wrought, flawlessly written.""-- The New York Times Book Review, 3, -: Headline, 2006. None. Paperback. Very Good. -. 1948: INDO-CHINA. Lee Crane is an American pilot flying demobbed air transports - C47 Dakotas - across South-East Asia for the highest bidder. He`ll fly anywhere, if the price is right. But his experiences during the war are haunting him, and when he meets a woman from the past, it is, literally, a slap in the face. 1941: BURMA. Crane is a young and innocent airman, flying P-40 Tomahawk fighter planes for the notorious Flying Tigers, the American Volunteers who are helping the Allies push back the Japanese. But when he falls for the charms of a beautiful Anglo-Indian girl she has a devastating affect on him. As the Japanese create chaos in Indo-China and all around him people are looting and lining their pockets, Crane desperately needs to return to find his Indian lover, no matter what the cost., Headline, 2006, 3, Chris Hart Books.
