Beautiful. Never have I read a murder mystery with subplots and counterplots that are as enriching and supportive, interesting, or more interesting, than the actual plot as Guterson has offered here. Guterson has interwoven a magical story that will keep you in suspence and offer you an insight into the history of Japanese-Americans, into human relations under strain in a mixed society, and the potential dangers of an unrequited love. If you are going to read only one thing this year make it this novel.
