"When a Japanese-American is charged with the murder of a local fisherman, more than one man's guilt is at stake. Soon to be a major film starring Ethan Hawke, directed by Scott Hicks (Shine). San Piedro Island in 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 one man's guilt. For on San Piedro, memory grows 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 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 neighbours watched."

But it was only after listening to Peter Marinker's recording for Sterling Audio that I discovered how much I'd missed, how much better it is than I realized. Marinker's skill fully illuminates the beauty and power of the author's language. Throughout, he paints pictures with his voice until scene after scene emerges, strong and clear. His superb narration is equally effective in bringing to life the characters. The trial is so real that I felt I was there, listening to every minute of testimony. Through it all Marinker captures brilliantly the individual voices of each of the participants. The total effect is far more dramatic than could ever be achieved solely by words printed on a page. Listening to Snow Falling On Cedars is an unforgettable experience. J.C. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine"
