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.

"They can always get you for increasingly erratic behaviour. (M. Robinson, HOUSEKEEPING)" That is the intriguing signature line of a woman on an online fountain pen group I frequent, so when I saw the book I had to read it! A fabulous read, even better than her later, more polished, Gilead. The writing is so tight, the heroines so real, you'll feel you know these folks.

After reading Gilead by Mariynne Robinson, I loved it so much I went in search of others novels that she had written. Housekeeping is her first novel and it did not disappoint. She tells her story of orphaned sisters that are placed in the care of their eccentric aunt and the ways they all must adapt.
