Industry Reviews "The many admirers of Guterson's 'Snow Falling on Cedars' won't be disappointed by this affecting, often superbly lyrical account....Thinly imagined but quite beautifully written..." Miller
"As Guterson tells this meditative and autumnal story, he shows once again that he has a naturalist's eye for botanical detail. But he is better at evoking plants and trees than at filling out his characters. He works hard to invest Givens' ultimate decision with inevitability, but he never quite pulls it off, because the emotional arc of his hero's life keeps disappearing into reverential descriptions of the landscape." Harayda
