I've raced my way through Sarah Addison Allen's books recently and adore the way she writes. Can anyone recommend me some other authors/ books in the magical realism genre?

Thanks!

I loved Garden Spells!

Alice Hoffman and Tracy Madison, also The Kitchen Daughter and The Love Goddess' Cooking School

I just realized those all involve food.

She mostly writes YA, but you might want to check out Francesca Lia Block, particularly her Weetzie Bat books. There's also Chocolat by Joanne Harris.

Do you mean Hoffman writes mostly YA? Because I wouldn't classify her work as YA.

Ah, gotcha.

Camilla, I haven't, but I've downloaded all the samples, so I'm sure I will get to that one eventually.

Good one Betsy. I think that would certainly qualify.
