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...

This book needs your attention in order to fully appreciate the time sequences, the monologues, stream of consciousness, and poetic passages. Two readings would likely be helpful, and I'll put it on my TBRA list. Its two story sections subtly interconnect, but I think each could stand alone, as well. I especially appreciated the art history that is the engine that drives one story and the way that element is brought in the other story. There are multiple meanings of the title, and I'll leave you to discover those on your own. Ali Smith has crafted a masterpiece.
