In the morning, Zoey discovers that Lizbeth Lime, the busybody of the complex, has been found crushed by her own bookcase. She also quickly becomes fascinated and endeared to Frasier, the complex’s caretaker, and her four neighbors, Charlotte Lungren, Mac Garrett, and two sisters, Lucy and Lizbeth Lime. She is charmed by the pernicious island birds from which the apartments derive their name, dellawisps, and is amused to find her invisible pet bird, Pigeon, interacting with them. As a result, Zoey increasingly begins to turn her attention to the other residents at the Dellawisp. Though Zoey indeed finds the apartment intact and ready for her when she arrives at the Dellawisp (the small apartment complex in which it is located), she is disappointed to discover that it is bereft of any personal flair on Paloma’s part. Zoey arrives in Mallow Island with the expectation that she will grow closer to her departed mother, Paloma, by spending the summer in the apartment that Paloma once owned. It takes place over the course of a summer in the life of Zoey Hennessey, a young adult woman who has left her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend school in Charleston and spend the summer exploring the town that her now-dead mother called home. Other Birds is split into 22 chapters, with occasional first-person interludes told from the perspective of the various ghosts that haunt the island where it is set. The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Allen, Sarah Addison.
