Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023.

One Big Damn Puzzler
by

Harding's novel is one big novel! The font is small, the story is packed and the characters are numerous. However, this is a very clever book. The story has mystery, humor and irony, and the parallels to Shakespearian works are scattered throughout. Set in a primitive island nation, the novel tracks an ideological American lawyer in his quest for justice for the natives who acquired injuries from American land mines. That becomes backstory to the inner workings of island life and as the story unfolds, the central question begs to be answered- "Does primitive always mean worse?"

Getting Rid Of Matthew
by
Jane Fallon
Rebekah Salinas
, October 05, 2007
A cheeky tale of a woman who finally gets her one true desire- to have her married lover leave his wife and to have him all to herself. What ensues is a quirky, silly, not-too-fomulaic plot in which the heroine has to learn that a man does not solve all of life's challenges, and that, as Ben Franklin once noted, visitors do "stink" after a few days.

Jacks Widow
by
Eve Pollard
Rebekah Salinas
, September 24, 2007
Pollard's fictionalized account of the days and years in Jackie's life following the JFK assassination is intriguing. Many of the well-known events of Jackie's life get turned upside down in this fast-paced read, and the reader begins to question her/his own knowledge of history and historical perspective. This book sent me off a few times to do research on the life events of the protaganist, and I am wiser for it.
