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...

"They can always get you for increasingly erratic behaviour. (M. Robinson, HOUSEKEEPING)" That is the intriguing signature line of a woman on an online fountain pen group I frequent, so when I saw the book I had to read it! A fabulous read, even better than her later, more polished, Gilead. The writing is so tight, the heroines so real, you'll feel you know these folks.

Atmospheric Disturbances

Fascinating look at the onset of mental illness and delusional thinking. How does one square up contradictory facts? More, the love story is as much about the devotion of the wife, whose husband believes she has been replaced by a simulacrum, as it is about his search for his "real" wife. A fun read!

Eagle Blue

The best book about Alaska in a long time. Not just about high school basketball, but about Alaska. Urban v. rural, Native v. non-Native, subsistence and conservation v. development, ANCSA corporations v. tribal sovereignty and other Alaskan issues are explored gently, in the context of the lives of the boys and girls basketball teams in one village, Fort Yukon. Not only that, but a well written page-turner as well!
