Magical Realism Fiction

Growing up my Mom had tons of herbal and non traditional remedies. If you had a wart, my mom would have you rub an apple peel on the wart on a full moon and bury it in a secret spot. On the next full moon you would dig up the apple peel and your wart would be gone. Funny that I do not remember if it worked but as kids we loved the thought and mystery behind it and searched for friends that had warts!

If you like the hopefulness of magic and mystery without the other worldliness of science fiction/fantasy check out the milder genre of magical realism fiction.

Sarah Addison Allen is a wonderful, New York Times bestselling author that writes realistic fiction but infuses the characters with special gifts and magical touches.

If you enjoy books about friendship, family, relationships set in a charming southern town you should definitely check out Sarah Addison Allen.
