Sarah Addison Allen Books in Order

New York Times Bestselling novelist Sarah Addison Allen brings the full flavor of her southern upbringing to bear on her captivating fiction, a blend of magical realism, heartwarming romance, and small-town sensibility. Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, Allen nurtures a love of books and good food, crediting her journalist father for sparking her literary passion and her mother, a skilled cook, for instilling a love of culinary delights. As a literature major, Allen reveled in the opportunity to delve into the world of fiction. Her big break arrived in 2007 with the publication of Garden Spells, a modern-day fairy tale featuring an enchanted apple tree and the family of North Carolina women who tend it. Praised by Booklist as "spellbindingly charming," the novel became a Barnes & Noble Recommends selection and a New York Times Bestseller. Allen's subsequent novels, including The Sugar Queen, The Girl Who Chased the Moon, and The Peach Keeper, continue to serve heaping helpings of the fantastic and the familiar, solidifying her reputation as a master of "Southern-fried magic realism."
