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...

Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry A Novel
by
Rachel Joyce
Vera Fessler
, January 01, 2013
A very mindful story of an ordinary person struggling with the regrets of a lifetime and coming to peace with himself, accepting the tragedies and triumphs, joys and sorrows which have haunted him. Harold embarks on a walk to a friend whom he has not seen for over two decades. The friend is in hospice and has penned him a farewell. Without intention, plan, or expections, Harold impulsively walks, convinced he can save his friend. His solitary and often painful walk leads Harold to honestly confront the past, and as his quest gains attention, he learns that his pilgrimage is too personal and demanding to share, and his integrity demands remaining solitary. A good read.

On Canaans Side
by
Sebastian Barry
Vera Fessler
, January 01, 2012
The life of a single woman glows in this gentle recounting of her life from youth in Ireland to the end of her life in the United States over the course of most of the 20th century. Barry's lyrical language defies hurried reading: my copy is heavily underlined with sentences I hope to recall. A uniquely flowing spirit infuses this memorable tale--its magic never slips into sentimentality or cliche.
