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...

With remarkable courage and an undefeatable spirit she decides to raise her daughter herself, though she can only move her head and needs assistance to breathe. With the help of an African American carer, Peacie, who has strength of character and fierce loyalty, they raise Diane well, despite poverty and the racial unrest of the time in Tupelo, Tennessee As Diana navigates her thirteenth year she must come to terms not only with her own adolescent changes, but with the prejudice against the ones she loves. Elizabeth Berg, as always, tells the story from the hearts of the characters, with beauty and truth. With an easy attention to detail you enter the world and the era and take the journey along with Diana, and share her joys, sadness and confusion, and you won?t want to leave.

March
by
Geraldine Brooks

, June 05, 2007
Well known Australian author and journalist Geraldine Brooks tells the tale of Louisa May Alcott?s Little Women through the eyes of Mr. March. While his wife Marmee and his daughters were depicted as saccharine sweet in Little Women, March tells of an ugly time in American history, the U.S civil war. It is gritty and realistic and sheds a completely different light on the March family and their politics. Enjoyable to read for both men and women with an attention to historical detail based on careful research.

Miss Potter

, June 05, 2007
Tie-in book for the movie Miss Potter starring Renee Zellweger about the career of Beatrix Potter author and illustrator of Tale of Peter Rabbit and other children?s books. It is not necessary to watch the movie to enjoy this delightful story of the inspiration behind Miss Potter?s work and the subsequent romance with her publisher. It is a fast, easy read and very charming.
