The Peach Keeper




If you love magical realism like I do, you will love Sarah Addison Allen's books. Her books are reminiscent of Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman. If you haven't read Garden Spells or the Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison, please be sure to do so. You won't be disappointed, I promise!

The Peach Keeper is Sarah Addison Allen's most recent book. What happens when the body of a man is discovered while the Blue Ridge Mansion is being renovated? Who is this man? Why was Paxton Osgood's grandmother so dead set against the renovation in the first place? Why does Georgie, Willa's grandmother, say only one word .... peach?

Paxton Osgood is smart, beautiful, and ambitious. What she isn't is married and she desperately wants to be. But how can she fulfill her dream when she is in love with Sebastian who's gay? Or is he?

Willa Jackson has returned to the small town of her roots. Yes, she had a scandalous past, but that's all behind her now, isn't it? Her life is well planned and controlled now.

To find out the answers to these questions and to have a delightful reading experience, read The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen.
