The Peach Keeper

Allen's style is similar to Kate Morton. The story is not ground-breaking but very enjoyable and makes for a quick read. I love the elements of magic and mystery in this book as well as the descriptions of Southern life. I was born in Los Angeles, but my great grandmother, grandmother and dad were born in the South. I still have family in Memphis. I think I gravitate towards these types of stories because I have this skewed idea that life in the South would be slower and even kinder. I can’t wait to pick up another Sarah Addison Allen book so that I can immerse myself in the fantasy of a life far away.
