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...

Wednesday Sisters
by
Meg Waite Clayton

The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton is a coming of age story of five very different young women in the tumultuos 60's and 70's. Set in Palo Alto CA the story has five very different women as its main characters. They bond over their love of writing and experience many of the joys and heartbreaks of life. The story encompasses the civil rights movement, Vietnam War, mixed marriages, infertility, divorce, breast cancer and the women's movement among its themes. Having grown up during these times I found the story very touching and hard to put down. I was sad when the book ended.

An excellent guide to gardening. Easy to read. The first part has sections on many different problems you may face gardening (windy areas, arid areas, bugs and pests etc). The second part is an encyclopedia of thousands of different kinds of plants. A necessary reference for any gardener.

The Red Tent
by

I don't usually like biblical fiction but this book was the exception. Based loosely on the Book of Ruth from the Bible The Red Tent was very absorbing and interesting. Diamant does an excellent job of transporting the reader back to Biblical Times. The idea for a Red Tent is one I wish we had today. The tent is a place where women bond and relax and are waited on. Sounds like a good idea to me. Of course the sanitary conditions left a lot to be desired. This book was very moving and easily the best I read in the last decade.
