À propos de cet audio
From the acclaimed author of Garden Spells comes a tale of lost souls, 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's 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's 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.

Histoire
When Ava Harrison receives a letter containing an unusual job listing one month after the sudden death of her ex-boyfriend, she thinks she’s being haunted. The listing—a job as a live-in caretaker for a peculiar old man and his cranky cat in Driftwood, Alabama—is the perfect chance to start a new life. A normal life. Ava has always been too fearful to even travel, so no one’s more surprised than she is when she throws caution to the wind and drives to the distant beachside town.

Histoire
Nestled in the mountain shadows of Alabama lies the little town of Wicklow. It is here that Anna Kate has returned to bury her beloved Granny Zee, owner of the Blackbird Café. It was supposed to be a quick trip to close the café and settle her grandmother’s estate, but despite her best intentions to avoid forming ties or even getting to know her father’s side of the family, Anna Kate finds herself inexplicably drawn to the quirky Southern town her mother ran away from so many years ago, and the mysterious blackbird pie everybody can’t stop talking about.

Emme Wynn has wanted nothing more her whole life than to feel like part of a family. Having grown up on the run with her con artist mother, she’s been shuffled from town to town, drawn into bad situations, and has learned some unsavory habits that she’s tried hard to overcome. When her estranged grandmother tracks her down out of the blue and extends a job offer—helping to run her booth at an open-air marketplace in small-town Sweetgrass, Alabama—Emme is hopeful that she’ll finally be able to plant the roots she’s always dreamed of.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“The wistful sweetness in Siiri Scott's narration perfectly complements the small-town South Carolina setting of this audiobook.… Scott movingly depicts each character's hesitant yet hopeful path to friendship and, in some cases, romance. Scott employs light accents and adeptly softens her tone or deepens her pitch to portray every character—male or female, young or old, local resident or transplant.… Scott creates an absorbing, atmospheric listening experience.”—AudioFile Magazine
“Siiri Scott's engaging narration accompanies listeners as the story moves from past to present, revealing the residents' backstories and introducing ghosts, both symbolic and literal.… Scott sensitively takes listeners through the twists and turns in each resident's story, ending on a hopeful note. With ghosts that are comforting rather than frightening, this story, gently laced with magical realism, weaves a charming spell. With its underlying theme of resilience and growth, Allen's (First Frost) latest will have wide appeal. A great match for book clubs.”—Library Journal (starred review)
"The biggest challenge for the reader is to try to not turn the pages so quickly in order to extend the fun. ... An outstanding reading experience. Readers who enjoy a Southern story, a touch of the unexplained, and works by Fannie Flagg and Karen White will all be delighted by this novel."—Booklist (starred review)

Warm and Magical
As always Sarah Addison Allen does not disappoint! Other Birds was worth the wait. A story about finding yourself again amidst loss with that dash of whimsy, magic and love you can expect from this author. I can smell the mallow and hear the birds singing.

This was the first time I listened to anything written by Sarah Addison Allen and it was a great story. I dont usually listen to stand alone novels I like series especially when I fall in love with charaters, I dont want to part with them.
I fell in love with this book right away, it had everything. Great charaters, perfect story and ghosts! Perfect!

Chosen Family, Magical Realism novel
A book within a book, stories nestled together.
A character said "Stories aren't fiction. Stories are fabric. They're the white sheets we drape over our ghosts so we can see them." This is a whimsical novel about ghosts, hidden histories, written stories, recipes as a memory of love, and all the way through there are found families, chosen by different characters at different times.
Suprisingly lovely novel with mostly characters you can warm to, and written about an area of South Carolina that the author clearly loves.
Beautifully narrated, however this audio version does not have the story story "Benedict's Calling Card"

// REVIEW //
I have just finished the delightful book "Other Birds" by Sarah Addison Allen, and let me tell you, it's a place I'm already longing to revisit.
One of the most captivating aspects of this novel is its embrace of the found-family, weaving together the lives of a diverse ensemble cast residing at the charming Dellawisp apartments.
We follow Zoey Charlotte, Mac, Lizbeth, Lucy, Frasier, and a host of others, each character brings their own unique past to the story. Despite all of the different characters, Sarah Addison Allen masterfully guides the reader through these characters’ intertwining stories, making it effortless to follow along and become emotionally invested in each individual's journey.
What sets Other Birds apart is the infusion of fun ghostie elements, adding an extra layer of intrigue and whimsy to the narrative. The ghosts have their own tie to the living characters we follow in the book. The ghosts tell their stories through their own chapters called “Ghost Stories”. The author’s skillful storytelling allows the ghosties to feel just as real and relatable as their mortal counterparts, further enriching the tapestry of the novel.
Throughout the book, I found myself enchanted by Allen's exquisite prose, which is sprinkled with bird wordplay and allusions that add depth and charm to the story. It's clear that the author has a profound love for language, and her clever use of imagery and symbolism elevates the reading experience to new heights.
Other Birds also offers a delightful blend of mystery and intrigue, with teeny little mysteries scattered throughout to keep readers on their toes. Yet, despite these mysteries, the novel never veers into spooky vibes which I particularly appreciated.
As if the book itself wasn't enchanting enough, I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook while I followed along on my Kindle. The audiobook presenter's accents and voices really brought the characters to life.
I wholeheartedly give it 5 stars!
I loved it so much!

I'm not sure...
This isn't genre fiction, even though the category lists it as such. It is more literary in my estimation. There doesn't seem to be much of a plot. There are some interesting ideas in it, though, which is why I gave it a 3 star rating. The naration is good.

I wasn’t sure that I was going to enjoy this book because of the mention of ghosts but the ghosts in this story were not scary and they were actually fun! This story was enchanting and took me to a whole other world. I loved it. I’ll be reading this author’s two other books.
