From the acclaimed author of Garden Spells comes an enchanting tale of lost souls, lonely strangers, secrets that shape us, and how the right flock can guide you home.
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.
When one of her new neighbors
dies under odd circumstances the night Zoey arrives, she is thrust into
the mystery of The Dellawisp, which involves missing pages from a
legendary writer whose work might be hidden there. She soon discovers
that many unfinished stories permeate the place, and the people around
her are in as much need of healing from wrongs of the past as she is. To
find their way they have to learn how to trust each other, confront
their deepest fears, and let go of what haunts them.
Delightful and atmospheric, Other Birds
is filled with magical realism and moments of pure love that won’t let
you go. Sarah Addison Allen shows us that between the real and the
imaginary, there are stories that take flight in the most extraordinary
ways.
