It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are.

On Chesil Beach
by
Ian McEwan

, July 06, 2007
Neither McEwan's most compelling work nor a particularly engaging story; yet, with an extremely simple plot, McEwan's deftness with detail and language nevertheless draws the reader into the story and allows them to feel empathy for the awkwardness and distance between this newly married couple.

Inheritance of Loss
by
Kiran Desai
lmoore07
, July 06, 2007
Desai does a beautiful job of weaving stories of India, the immigrant's experience, a troubling legacy of colonialism and the challenges of assimilation. She shows the presence of a third world within the first world (U.S.), while exploring the subtleties of status, class and nationality. Not only a touching story, but also a timely and critical inquiry into our increasingly interconnected world.
