![]() ![]() I wanted to take the tours, sample the food and meet the residence of the Dellawisp. I wanted to pack my bags and immediately visit this island. Even the broken ones will tug at your heartstrings. Together they form a friendship, heal and perhaps find home.Īddison delivers magical realism and complex characters who you cannot help but root for. Talk of food, friendships and the return of a resident quickly pulled me in. This was a magical tale, and I loved getting to know each of the characters, including the manager who oversees the Dellawisp. A chef who wakes up covered in cornmeal each morning, a henna artist running from her past, and two sisters who have not spoken in over twenty-five years. As Zoey integrates herself into life at the Dellawisp, we meet her neighbors. Pets aren’t allowed, but no one can see Pigeon. Like the birds, she is curious, tentative and eager to a part of the community. It’s her first time alone, and she wants to reconnect with the memories of her mother, but also experience life at the Dellawisp and is hoping to meet its residence. Zoey is a recent high school graduate who is spending the summer in the condo she inherited from her mother. The author introduces us to the island and Dellawisp along with young Zoey. It’s tucked away beyond the main streets and provides a sanctuary for tiny turquoise birds who flutter about observing the tenants as they go about their day. ![]() I loved the island and the Dellawisp, a horseshoe cobblestone building with a courtyard that’s been converted to condos. ![]()
