Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. 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...

My Abandonment
by
Peter Rock

, May 17, 2010
Author Peter Rock did his research for this novel based on a true story of a man and his daughter living in Forest Park in Portland, OR. While he couldn't know the moments they lived, you feel as if he does, as you make Caroline's stealthy way through the days and unseen paths of her hidden world. A suspenseful and empathic journey.

Shutter Island Mti
by
Dennis Lehane

, February 04, 2010
I'm no fan of mysteries, at least not until now. Lehane knows how to set a scene, both externall and internally. You feel you know the creepy geography of trees, cliffs and rocks as vividly as the hubris, melancholy and intelligence of the protagonist. You think you know them both, the island and the man. No one exploits such certainty as skillfully as Lehane.

A Fine Balance
by
Rohinton Mistry
sgreentag
, January 11, 2010
With its epic scope yet lovingly detailed characters, this masterpiece is both social commentary and intimate portrait. How perfect a book for the oughts -- giving the non-Indian a vivid, unsentimental look at this global neighbor, while painting one of life's bleaker pictures, all the while reminding us of our powers of resilience.
