It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster
by
Svetlana Alexievich, Keith Gessen
Bonnie Anderson
, April 19, 2017
The subtitle of this book is The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster and the voices from this time in history in Chernobyl are powerful. At times they are touching, at times painful, at times darkly humorous, and throughout, they are voices of people who, for the most part, are innocent victims of a government that cared more for politics than people. The author interviews people from school age children to elders and never interjects her views. Although the nuclear disaster occurred in 1986, this book is timeless as the effects of Chernobyl continue and the potential for future nuclear disasters is very real.

Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry A Novel
by
Rachel Joyce
Bonnie Anderson
, April 29, 2013
I read this book in record time and didn't want it to end. It's a beautiful story of a truly unlikely journey which Harold takes to visit a friend. The relationships between Harold and his family and those he encounters on his walk from the south of England to Scotland were both humorous and poignant.
