David Guterson Books Overview

Snow Falling on Cedars

‘Penguin Readers’ is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series’ combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre 20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. ‘Penguin Readers’ are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from ‘Easystarts’ with a 200 word vocabulary, to Level 6 Advanced with a 3000 word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub categories: ‘Contemporary’, ‘Classics’ or ‘Originals’. At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying ‘Penguin Readers Factsheets’ which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

East of the Mountains

It is mid October, 1997, harvest time in the Columbia Basin of central Washington state, a rich apple and pear growing region. Ben Givens, recently widowed, is a retired heart surgeon, once admired for his steadiness of hand, his precision, his endurance. He has terminal colon cancer. While Ben does not readily accept defeat, he is determined to avoid suffering rather than engage it. And so, accompanied by his two hunting dogs, he sets out through the mythic American West sage deserts, yawning canyons, dusty ranches, vast orchards on his last hunt. The main issues for Ben as a doctor had been tactical and so it would be with his death. But he hadn’t considered the persuasiveness of memory the promise he made to his wife Rachel, the love of his life, during World War II. Or life’s mystery. On his journey he meets a young couple who are ‘forever,’ a drifter offering left handed advice that might lessen the pain, a veterinarian with a touch only a heart surgeon would recognize, a rancher bent on destruction, a migrant worker who tests Ben’s ability to understand. And just when he thinks there is no turning back, nothing to lose that wasn’t lost, his power of intervention is called upon and his very identity tested. Full of humanity, passion, and moral honesty, East of the Mountains is a bold and beautiful novel of personal discovery.

Our Lady of the Forest

From the best selling author of Snow Falling on Cedars an emotionally charged, provocative new novel about a teenage girl who claims to see the Virgin Mary. Ann Holmes seems an unlikely candidate for revelation. A sixteen year old runaway, she is an itinerant mushroom picker who lives in a tent. But on a November afternoon, in the foggy woods of North Fork, Washington, the Virgin comes to her, clear as day. Father Collins a young priest new to North Fork finds Ann disturbingly alluring. But it is up to him to evaluate impartially the veracity of Ann’s sightings: Are they delusions, or a true calling to God? As word spreads and thousands, including the press, converge upon the town, Carolyn Greer, a smart talking fellow mushroomer, becomes Ann s disciple of sorts, as well as her impromptu publicity manager. And Tom Cross, an embittered logger who s been out of work since his son was paralyzed in a terrible accident, finds in Ann s visions a last chance for redemption for both himself and his son. As Father Collins searches his own soul and Ann s, as Carolyn struggles with her less than admirable intentions, as Tom alternates between despair and hope, Our Lady of the Forest tells a suspenseful, often wryly humorous, and deeply involving story of faith at a contemporary crossroads. From the Hardcover edition.

The Other

From the author of the best selling Snow Falling on Cedars, a dazzling new novel about youth and idealism, adulthood and its compromises, and two powerfully different visions of what it means to live a good life. John William Barry has inherited the pedigree and wealth of two of Seattle’s elite families; Neil Countryman is blue collar Irish. Nevertheless, when the two boys meet in 1972 at age sixteen, they re brought together by what they have in common: a fierce intensity and a love of the outdoors that takes them, together and often, into Washington s remote backcountry, where they must rely on their wits and each other to survive. Soon after graduating from college, Neil sets out on a path that will lead him toward a life as a devoted schoolteacher and family man. But John William makes a radically different choice, dropping out of college and moving deep into the woods, convinced that it is the only way to live without hypocrisy. When John William enlists Neil to help him disappear completely, Neil finds himself drawn into a web of secrets and often agonizing responsibility, deceit, and tragedy one that will finally break open with a wholly unexpected, life altering revelation. Riveting, deeply humane, The Other is David Guterson s most brilliant and provocative novel to date.

The Country Ahead of Us, the Country Behind

Like his novel, Snow Falling On Cedars, for which he received the PEN/Faulkner Award, Guterson’s beautifully observed and emotionally piercing short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest. In these vast landscapes, hunting, fishing, and sports are the givens of men’s lives. With prose that stings like the scent of gunpowder, this is a collection of power.
