From Sarah Addison Allen, the New York Times bestselling author of Garden Spells, Other Birds is an enchanting tale filled with magical realism and moments of pure love that won't let you go.
Synopsis:
Between the real and the imaginary, there are stories that take flight in the most extraordinary ways. Right off the coast of South Carolina, on Mallow Island, The Dellawisp sits—a stunning cobblestone building shaped like a horeshoe and named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy.
When Zoey comes to claim her deceased mother's apartment on Mallow Island, she meets her quirky and secretive neighbors, including a girl on the run, two estranged middle-aged sisters, a lonely chef, a legendary writer, and three ghosts. Each with their own story, Each with their own longings. Each whose ending isn't written yet.
Review:
Wow, this book starts off like a typical modern fiction, and then there's some mystery, some magic, and suddenly you don't want to put the book down, you want to stay right there on the island, getting to know the characters and seeing if Zoey can discover the truth about her mother and about herself. Allen once again gives us a story woven to enchant, that will have you mesmerized from page one and sighing at the dn with having a very satisfying read, It's an AMAZING book, sure to be the hit of the late summer, so don't miss this one!
