ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen tells the story of Zoey Hennessey, who moves into her late mother's condo on Mallow Island and takes a summer job cleaning out the apartment of a recently deceased resident. The narrative unfolds as Zoey meets the other residents of the Dellawisp Condos, all of whom have complex pasts, and they form a community, helping her discover the mysteries of the island, and her family history. The book uses elements of magical realism and Southern gothic to explore themes of family secrets, identity, and the importance of community and acceptance. The story focuses on the power of the past, and how it can shape the present, and explores the ways in which people heal and find connections.
