Book Reviews

KPCW invites members of the Friends of the Park City and Summit County libraries to review novels and non-fiction every month.
  • Random House Publishers
    Where is the line between love and trust? How do we balance our care for one another with precautions to protect ourselves? Belle Burden's new book “Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage" shows us why these questions matter.
  • Ballantine Books
    New York Times bestselling author Charmaine Wilkerson’s second novel, “Good Dirt,” was inspired by a true story recently aired on NPR.
  • Composite image of Cormac McCarthy books "The Passenger" and "Stella Maris"
    Alfred A. Knopf
    /
    Penguin Random House
    The late Cormac McCarthy is widely regarded as one of America’s best modern writers with award-winning best sellers like “Blood Meridian” and “The Road.” Matt Lindon has a summation of his work and a review of his last two books, “Passenger” and “Stella Maris.”
  • "The Poppy Fields" book cover.
    Harper Collins
    Like in her debut novel “The Measure,” New York Times Bestselling author Nikki Erlick’s second book “The Poppy Fields” asks readers a thought-provoking question: “What would you be willing to risk to make your grief go away?”
  • The Martian meets Multiplicity in Edward Ashton’s new science fiction novel. Dan Compton has this month’s book review of Mickey7.
  • Ever wonder if our modern culture of indoor living, processed foods, and cell phones is at odds with our natural, ancestral selves? Two evolutionary biologists discuss this phenomenon in a recent book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century. Amy Mills has this month’s book review.
  • If you had to hide your true identity to support your family and advance your career, would you do it? That’s exactly what JP Morgan’s personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, faces in the historical novel The Personal Librarian. Kirsten Nilsson, Summit County Librarian, has this month’s book review.
  • The highway into Park City from Kimball Junction is dedicated to the 10th Mountain Division. There is a plaque in the base area of the Park City Mountain resort dedicated to eight young men from this area who were members of the Division and died fighting the Germans during World War II. Why are these memorials here? This month's book review by Jerry Hubbell of The Winter Army: The World War II Odyssey of the 10th Mountain Division. America's Alpine Warriors will tell you.
  • Amor Towles’ third novel, The Lincoln Highway, has followed his first two, Rules of Civility and A Gentleman in Moscow straight to the New York Times Bestseller list.
