Special guests Attorney Jennifer Ferguson of Fales and Fales and Attorney Craig Turner, assistant district attorney for Androscoggin County, will share their thoughts on the evidence and legal issues presented and offer their legal opinions on the proceedings.

“Snow Falling on Cedars” is about post-World War II life on San Piedro Island in Puget Sound off the coast of Washington. The story has something for everybody: an apparent murder and trial, a love affair and a community haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese-American residents during World War II. When the title was first published in 1995 it won the American Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award.

“Snow Falling on Cedars” is available for loan at both libraries and may be reserved by calling either library or may be purchased at a 20 percent discount at local book stores.
