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...

Imagine stowing away on a coolie transport ship from Calcutta to Mauritius, as a woman. Imagine being a free black man from America who rises from ship worker to captain on the journey to India. Imagine being a poppy farmer with a opium addicted spouse and a cruel family in-law. A novel could follow just one of these people with great success, but in Sea of Poppies, each comes to life. Amitav Ghosh weaves together in their entwined lives and leaves the reader wanting to continue on this journey of the Ibis. I can't wait to read the rest of the stories.
