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...

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by
Rebecca Skloot
Tamla
, January 02, 2012
I found this book to be very enlightening. Beyond what Henrietta went through, but what we often don't realize about the ownership of our own cells. Rebecca Skloot did a very thorough investigation into the life of Henrietta Lacks and it shows in her writing and the care she showed towards the family.

The Lacuna
by
Barbara Kingsolver
Tamla
, May 23, 2011
Another triumph for Barbara Kingsolver. Brought to Mexico from the U.S. as a young child by his mother, staying in Mexico through his formative years, returning to the U.S. as an adult and ultimately returning to Mexico, Ms. Kingsolver expertly weaves her story which includes factual people, events and places in Mr. Shepherd's fictional life. The history was fascinating and I often listened with anticipation and trepidation. A most enjoyable tome that at times made me regret certain events of our nation's history.
