But a friend sent me an ARC so I feel the need to write a more reasoned review and I wanted another chance to take my time with the book anyway. In my zeal to read a new book by Sarah Addison Allen, I found that I had inhaled this book in two sittings. When Zoey comes to claim her deceased mother’s apartment on an island outside of Charleston 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. Right off the coast of South Carolina, on Mallow Island, The Dellawisp sits-a stunning old cobblestone building shaped like a horseshoe, and named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy. An enchanting tale filled with magical realism and moments of pure love that won’t let you go.īetween the real and the imaginary, there are stories that take flight in the most extraordinary ways.
