Just read SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS by David Guterson.

A very good,clever novel about post war tensions on the West Coast with the Japanese community.

My only gripe is it seems to end rather quickly. After building it up masterfully he wraps it all up in 10 pages or so? It's like he was only allowed 400 pages and was on 390 when he realised he had to finish it off!!

Still an excellent read however.
