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...

A quirky and unexpected read, I found that I could not put this book down. It is a rare find, a book that is original in thought and well written.

Several years ago Masterpiece Theater portrayed this book on television. It was hilarious, one of more memorable PSB series I have seen.

Dead End Gene Pool A Memoir
by
Wendy Burden

, January 01, 2011
The author has a wickedly droll sense of humor. Raised in one of the most aristocratic families of America by relatives who were barely able to function on a daily basis, the author chronicles her very dysfunctional childhood. I read "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" immediately after and was struck by how much the character Flavia and the author had in common. It is a wonder that Wendy Burden survived to tell her story, which is well-written with lots of black humor.
