The other birds sarah addison allen5/12/2023 ![]() The Dellawisp is an unusual residence, home to a number of unusual people who have been handpicked by the mysterious author Roscoe Avanger, whose novel put this island on the map. Right off the heels of Mercury Pictures Presents, however, Other Birds is a relief.Īfter Zoey is rushed out of the house by her father and step-mother, she moves into a room her late mother left for her on a small island. If I’d picked it for myself, I might have been disappointed. I was a little bored at times, but on the whole it was a nice book. Is this going to be something great like Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow or The Vanishing Half, or is it going to be torturous experience like Florence Adler Swims Forever or Matrix? Other Birds landed somewhere in the middle. Every time I start a new one, I’m trepidatious. I’ve actively liked maybe three of their picks in the last three/three-and-a-half years. I haven’t liked a lot of the book club books personally, I think whomever choses the books for Barnes and Noble could do a loooooot better. Like most quote-unquote “literary” books that I read, I read Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen for book club. ![]()
