If you’re anything like me, you’re always searching for that next great work of fiction—something you can pick up but can’t put down, something that whips you up into its own story and simultaneously gets you to think about what parts of it reflect your own life.

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 I wanted to highlight the book that got the most love on the list: In Memoriam, a debut novel from Alice Winn.
