Set in 1954 on the fictional San Piedro Island in the Pacific Northwest, it intertwines a courtroom murder trial of Japanese-American fisherman Kabuo Miyamoto with themes of racial prejudice, love, war trauma (particularly the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII), justice, and the lingering effects of the past. The story is told through multiple perspectives and flashbacks, blending legal drama, romance, and atmospheric evocation of the misty, cedar-forested island. This Bloomsbury UK paperback edition from 2000 helped widen the book’s international readership following its earlier success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilm Tie-in Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Edition \/ Bloomsbury Paperback (UK edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780747540731\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Good paperbacks with no annotations and tanned pages.
