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...

I thought all the great love stories had been written. I did not even read this as a love story...until I closed the book. From this poetic novel one learns about the physics of our universe and of our being, about a cosmic coming-together, and that what comes together must inevitably fall apart. This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read, rich with a nexus of science and literature, about faith (and disappointment) in knowledge gained and how humans use (and misuse) it.

Fos, a soldier of the Great War, and Flash come home and enter the photography business in Nashville, each man having his own dreams and demons. Fos meets Opal and begins a marriage that is marked with such beauty, they could write the book on it. But, the Depression comes, the TVA and the Manhattan Project—and in the middle of all that, another love of their life, Lightfoot. Wiggins' writing is luminescent. Her blending of history, Fos’s fascination with radiation with life’s great themes, tied to the structure of Melville’s Moby-Dick is just amazing. This is better, if it could be, than her newer book The Shadow Catcher.
