Sarah Addison Allen writes contemporary fiction with light magical elements rooted in families, food, gardens and small Southern towns. Garden Spells follows the Waverley sisters in North Carolina, where their family home includes an unusual apple tree and Claire Waverley's cooking can affect the people who eat it. The Sugar Queen centres on a woman whose carefully controlled life is interrupted by an unexpected houseguest and a series of relationships tied to sweets, books and family history. Other novels return to communities where supernatural details are treated as part of ordinary life rather than as elaborate fantasy systems. Allen's books are gentle, character-led and romantic, fitting magical realism, Southern fiction and contemporary relationship novels with a lightly enchanted atmosphere. Read more Less
