USA: The Pacific Northwest

David Guterson   Snow Falling on Cedars . Gripping, atmospheric mystery novel, evocatively capturing interracial tensions in the postwar Pacific Northwest.

Tobias Wolff   This Boy's Life . A memoir that reads more like a novel, this mournful book - leavened by self-deprecating humor - recounts his tough upbringing in a small Washington State town.
