Description
A fisherman's body is found in his nets, and a local Japanese-American man is charged with his murder. As the trial unfolds, it becomes clear that the case is not just about one man's guilt, but also about the complex history of San Piedro. The island's past is marked by tragedy and loss, particularly for its Japanese residents who were sent into exile during World War II. Memories of this period continue to haunt the community, and the trial serves as a catalyst for confronting these painful events. Through the lens of the trial, David Guterson explores themes of identity, community, and the enduring power of memory.
