Bag om The Peach Keeper

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "[Sarah Addison Allen] juggles small-town history and mystical thriller, character development and eerie magical realism in a fine Southern gothic drama."-Publishers Weekly It's the dubious distinction of thirty-year-old Willa Jackson to hail from a fine old Southern family of means that met with financial ruin generations ago. The Blue Ridge Madam-built by Willa's great-great-grandfather and once the finest home in Walls of Water, North Carolina-has stood for years as a monument to misfortune and scandal. Willa has lately learned that an old classmate-socialite Paxton Osgood-has restored the house to its former glory, with plans to turn it into a top-flight inn.
