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...

Shadow Catcher

Marianne Wiggins has woven an intricate tale as beautifully as the most intricate Indian blanket. She uses the confabulation of her character's life and memory of her father in conjunction with the legend, rife with myth, of Edward Curtis. She reveals the interconnectedness of all human encounters in an intensely engaging story. This is certainly a 5-star novel.

Divide

What an excellent story written with great craft. Sparks, an Englishman, writes with all of the emotion and descriptive powers of a true U.S. Westerner. His description of Montana make you feel like you're there. He has used the title "The Divide", to describe divisions of many layers of human life and nature. He draws each character as carefully as he does the land so that instantly, I felt really engaged in the character and cared very much about each one of them. Of course, the youngest of the family, Josh, turned out to be the most admirable of them all. You watch him mature from a needy little boy to a confident and knowing young man. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and recommend it.
