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...

My bookclub assigned this. I made it through the first half with just a bit of eye-rolling and sighing. Now it's become unbearable. Ms Alvarez presents these women as easy archetypes: a cutesy, a natural mother, a co-dependent and a feminist. The real humans HAD to have been more interesting. The real story HAS to be more engaging. This is so formulaic I find it troubling. I will be reading a biography of the sisters rather than this.

From the book's very beginning, you know that three of the four Mirabal sisters are going to be assassinated. As you become acquainted with each of them- all mothers and ordinary women- one a lawyer, one a young bride- you wish the ending were not so. None of the sisters planned on becoming rebel spies and gun runners in the Dominican Republic, but that was what life demanded from them. This story of grace and courage in the face of despotism is based on true events. An inspiring read.
