Snow Falling Book Review. When iris gets an invitation to attend a special dedication to the women who worked at a hospital in france sixty years before during world war i, she begins to remember her life there and events she would rather forget. Metal fish, falling snow is an emotional journey about grief, friendship, identity, family, coming of age, resilience, and internalised racism.

King took me into the world of street people; It was not until two years later, as a junior in high school that i had the opportunity to read the book itself.

As the story opens, kabuo miyamoto is on trial for the murder of carl heine, a fellow fisherman.
