Other Birds, by Sarah Addison Allen

I really enjoyed this:  interesting setting, engaging writing, a slight supernatural element.  I happily rooted for the characters. 

I did find it somewhat unrealistic how fast the found family formed and how tight their bond was, but I was enjoying it so much that I just suspended my belief.  The part with the bad guy at the end also felt like a bit of a stretch.  But it wasn't hard to just go with it.

Overall, a warm and gentle read.

I will certainly read other books by Sarah Addison Allen
