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...

This book will show why we should refrain from making sweeping, general comments about people. Otsuka's genius in using "we" narrators will impress a reader with a myriad of immigrant stories.

Buddha in the Attic

Written with care and finesse, this book equals in effect and beauty that found in Julie Otsuka's previous novel, When the Emperor Was Divine. Its "we" narrators deliver a complex tangle of humanity during a time period of shame in our country. Images will haunt and delight the reader long after the book is closed. In fact, I went back several times after finishing the stories to examine just how Otsuka accomplishes such depth of insight.
