Other Birds

Zoey Hennessey arrives at The Dellawisp, a horseshoe-shaped building on Mallow Island named for the small turquoise birds that share it with their human tenants, to claim the apartment her late mother left her. She finds a cast of quietly secretive neighbors — an estranged pair of sisters, a lonely chef, a reclusive writer — and, not long after she arrives, a death under strange circumstances pulls her into the building's long-buried history. Woven through with magical realism, Other Birds is about grief, found family, and the stories people keep from each other.
