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...

This is a highly composed, thoughtful and well structured book that goes through the process of a marriage ending: the pains of the breakup itself, the struggles of letting go, and even in the portion about the final letting go, there is still the honesty of the pain that comes with that growth. The book goes through seasons to show us the evolution of the speaker, the stages of this personal journey through this process. What kept me from a slightly higher rating was that the deliberate composition and structuring made the work feel a little less potent for me. Perhaps I was hoping for a little more messiness, a little more acid, a little more chaos to the composition here. Obviously, the Pulitzer committee disagreed with me and gave this collection the acknowledgment of topping their list of candidates, and I don't disagree with that, though I feel that Olds has given us more powerful and raw work, work that didn't get such high honor yet lingers with me far longer than this book does.

I saved the reading of this book for myself, a birthday present. When my husband and daughter went to bed, I took it out and savored it. Sharon Olds came to the Twin Cities Book Festival a few weeks ago, and I jotted some of my notes onto a blog entry, if one finds this of interest: http://tinyurl.com/ax7xrup
