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...

Small Island is B I G!!! I am thankful to have been given a copy by British friends who found it wonderful and thought I would as well (I live in Calif.) Each of the voices is believable and poignant, and they are very different from each other. Having both Londoners and Jamaicans as personal friends--though in a different era (current)--I found the main characters lovable knowing their faults, and my heart ached for their hardships. It would be naive to believe the racial climate has reversed in the intervening years, though it has become more subtle, in the U.K. as well as in the U.S.A., but I am thankful for the brilliant exposition Levy has provided, and I will definitely check out her other books.
