Fiction/own

It has been ages since I read this author, I like her magical realism books. Though here the magical realism, well it was so real so...well I have to doubt things a bit. But here there clearly are ghost.

Zoey moves into a flat. She has her own problems, horrid family. Her mum died long ago. She befriends other in the building, all with their own ghosts. And then of course someone dies the first day too.

Old secrets are slowly coming to light and all these strangers will become friends

Trying to make it shirt. Good book. Very lovely

Between the real and the imaginary, there are stories that take flight in the most extraordinary ways. Right off the coast of South Carolina, on Mallow Island, The Dellawisp sits—a stunning old cobblestone building shaped like a horseshoe, and named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy.

When Zoey comes to claim her deceased mother’s apartment at the Dellawisp she meets her quirky and secretive neighbors, including a young woman with a past, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and a lonely chef, and three ghosts. The sudden death of one of Zoey's new neighbors sets off a search that leads to the island's famous author and to a long-estranged relative of the sisters.

Each of them has a story, and each story has an ending which hasn't yet been written.
