After a long hiatus, author Sarah Addison Allen is back with a brand new novel to get lost in. Sarah invents worlds full of magical realism that feel like you can just walk right into them. The characters she creates end up feeling like your own family or close friends. You find yourself speeding through the book to find out what happens next and then so disappointed when it's all over and you have to rejoin the real world. Other Birds was definitely worth the long wait! Summaries never quite do the book justice, but hopefully this is enough to suck you in: "Down a narrow alley in the small coastal town of Mallow Island, South Carolina, lies a stunning cobblestone building comprised of five apartments. It's called The Dellawisp and it is named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy. When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mother's apartment at The Dellawisp, she meets her quirky, enigmatic neighbors including a girl on the run, a grieving chef whose comfort food does not comfort him, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and three ghosts. Each with their own story. Each with their own longings. Each whose ending isn't yet written." If you've never read anything by Sarah Addison Allen before, now is the perfect time to dive in!
