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...

What a good read. If ever there was a "beach book" for guys, this is it. Picture a timid little man, a machinist, who works his way through WWII tending a machine shop in a factory. He's responsible for the maintenance of machine tools. As a hobby, he writes "how to" articles for a little British amateur machinist magazine. He lives in a little British town with his little British wife in a little British house. After the war, in the early 50s, his sister and her post-traumatic-stressed ex-fighter pilot husband drop their daughter off on his doorstep and leave on a sail boat headed to Vancouver BC via the South Pacific. They don't make it. The little machinist is forced to take off in search of their boat to recoup the little girl's family treasure, and thus this novel about his adventure. I'd love to see a movie made of this, Anthony Hopkin would be the Trusty from the Toolroom.
