Sobre este artículo
New York, N. Y., U.S.A.: Harcourt, 1999. First Thus Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black ink. Author's acclaimed first novel: winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and basis for the 1999 Scott Hicks film starring Ethan Hawke, Max von Sydow, Youki Kudoh and Sam Shepard. Gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric-a masterpiece of suspense 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, 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. [Includes wraparound movie promotional band in new condition: first thus edition, first printing (reprinted for movie release) with grey boards with white spine and silver- stamped title; reverse letter line f-e-d-c-b-a on copyright page.) As new, unread copy, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket. M60
