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...

I love this book! All month I read the first paragraph aloud to anyone that came over. I even took it to the nursing home and read it to my 97-year-old grandmother (she loves books). I didn't rush the book, but savored the language and the characters. I assumed Grace was innocent from the start. Her character seemed like a friend I could have had as a child. Atwood made her thoughts come alive ? "As if hundreds of butterflies have settled all over my face, and are softly opening and closing their wings" ? such beautiful language! The other character I loved reading from was Simon's mom. Her letters made me laugh. "If he would only produce a son, she continues ? having , of course, married first ? she would die happy" and "To threaten to do yourself an injury, by jumping off a bridge or other elevated location, might carry weight with an impressionable and tender-hearted young man, but it does not, with his more experienced Mother." I'm still laughing. I also thought the ending was well crafted - not to give anything away.
