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...

One of the ways in which I judge a book is whether I want to read more by this author. Or, even better, did you ever finish a book and want to reread it? Then you have a winner. I wanted to do both. The writing style hits me first. It draws me in with an almost journalistic style of a story set in the 1850âs in the French-settled Paraguay. Her fiction transports the reader to places and times rich in stories and characters, yet her style is one of succinctness and focus. She never lost me amid the stories. The author chooses a female protagonist, Ella Lynch, Irish born and beautiful, to tell the story of 19th century Paraguay. The story unfolds in her youth in Paris. A grand history of the little-known country of Paraguay and its violent war with its neighbors.
