I had heard David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars was a great novel and knew it had been made into a highly acclaimed film, but I’d neither read it nor seen the movie. I had no idea it was set in the Pacific Northwest, familiar territory, and it joins a surprisingly lengthy list of books I’ve read this year on the subject of WWII. Part history, part murder mystery, it offers compelling characters with both good and bad sides, each with motivations of their own and secrets to hide.
