Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen

 


I was captivated from the first chapter in this engaging novel threaded with ghosts and the people who they watch over in a small, old building of condos. It is also the story of a young woman, Zoey the college girl trailed by Pigeon, who moves to the complex and draws the other residents into friend relationships: Mac the chef trailed by Camile and Frasier trailed by Lizbeth. They are joined by Oliver and Charlotte who each have their own stories. This group of formerly detached people form bonds they all need and are desperately missing.

It is a lovely story of hard childhoods that formed these adults, each wanting connections but not knowing where to find them until Zoey arrives to touch their lives.
