An der Westküste Nordamerikas wird ein toter Fischer gefunden, möglicherweise ermordet. Es ist 1954, die Wunden des Krieges noch frisch, und so fällt der Verdacht schnell auf einen anderen Fischer japanischer Abstammung. Und der einzige Mann, der die Unschuld des Verdächtigten beweisen könnte, liebt seit langen Jahren dessen Ehefrau Hatsue.

Klappentext:
In 1954 a fisherman is found dead in the nets of his boat, and a local Japanese-American man is charged with his murder. In the course of his trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than one man's guilt. For on San Piedro, memories grow as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries - memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and a Japanese girl; 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 neighbours watched.
Rezension:
'This is classic whodunnit territory but Guterson's fiercely intelligent and moving novel is far more than a murder mystery ... Guterson has written a novel about the human condition that marvellously combines tenderness and excitement' The Times
