Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: 'I'm the product of a newspaper man and a disowned debutante . . . My dad is a retired journalist and award-winning columnist. He's the reason I became a writer. Mom is from an old Southern family. She married young, had children, was the perfect wife. She wore elbow length gloves and had a bouffant. Then, when she turned fifty, she dyed her hair red and had her nose pierced. I call her the Disowned Debutante. I have one sister named Sydney, the name of one of the sisters in Garden Spells. It was the job of my elegant great-aunt Charlotte to shape me and my sister into something proper. From a very early age we were instructed in the fine art of table place settings and napkin folding. She taught us that handkerchiefs were always embroidered, fingernail polish was always clear, and women never pumped their own gas. Sydney and I tried, we really did. But we're the daughters of the Disowned Debutante. We can't help ourselves. We're just a little bit wild.' - Sarah Addison Allen.
