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...

Time Travelers Wife
by
Audrey Niffenegger
Rebecca Brant
, December 13, 2012
An enduring love story that bears re-reading. I am a different person each time I come to the book, and each time it renders a new meaning, reveals a new perspective. I keep a lending copy, and I recommend it often, but I'm careful who I recommend it to. Henry and Claire have become such dear friends, I take exception to those who don't embrace them as I do. Niffenegger's lyrical prose allows us to bear with Henry during his selfish phase by giving us glimpses of the man he becomes. We wait, breathless, with Claire as she endures the Time Until they meet in each other's present. As much as I read, no book has managed to replace TTW as my very favorite.

State of Wonder
by
Patchett, Ann
Rebecca Brant
, January 01, 2012
Ann Patchett continues to amaze, both with the beauty of her writing and the richness and detail she brings to such a broad spectrum of characters and settings. With State of Wonder, she returns to the height of achievement she reached with Bel Canto. This time she leads us from the frigid Minnesota plains, bleak with personal loss, to a sweltering South American city and a jungle teeming with life in all its forms -- a jungle that holds more than one miracle. As always, bless her, Patchett crafts an ending that is both satisfying in itself and open to the readers' further imaginings, proving once again that if you could read only one writer for the rest of your life, you would do well to choose Ann Patchett.
