Gavid Gutterson's Snow Falling On Cedars a personal and gripping look into a mixed-race community recovering from the wounds of World War II.  An investigation into a murder gradually reveals a complex connection to delicate racial relations between Japonese Americans, German Americans, and other groups both before and after the war.   The wounds of the war are mostly unseen and run very deep.  The relationships and personalities are painted with a delicate and masterful brush. 

A very good read.
