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...

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky
by

This book is a great introduction into biracial and multi-ethnic children and how they fit into society. The main character, Rachel, is a product of a Danish mother and an African-American father. She has spent most of her life in Europe and never really dealt with being "different." However, after her parents separate and her mother relocates to the US and then commits suicide along with infanticide (killing Rachel's siblings), Rachel must learn to deal with life in an African-American community as an outsider. Ms. Durrow paints a beautiful picture of these struggles, both external and internal, and allows us to follow Rachel during her transition from naive, innocent child to maturing, young woman. We see the mistakes made by her and others around her and we see her grow into acceptance of who and what she is. An outstanding book by this debut author.
