A few weeks earlier, Flynn McNulty, Olivia’s former boyfriend and proprietor of Through the Wardrobe, Oyster Bay’s independent bookshop, approached Olivia about the storytellers’ retreat. As a wealthy restaurateur, Olivia juggles several irons in the fire around Oyster Bay. Violetta’s storytelling has reportedly inspired artists of all varieties, and the Bayside Book Writers are excited to experience her stories firsthand.īut Olivia doesn’t mention to her friends that she helped sponsor the event. Famed storyteller Violetta Devereux has top-billing at the event. Fellow member Laurel Hobbs suggests that the band of writers spend the upcoming Saturday together at the annual Oyster Bay Cardboard Regatta, grab some dinner, and then catch the main highlight of the day: performances by the Southern Storytellers Network at the town’s library. The exact opposite of what you’d expect from an Egyptian courtesan wooing a pharaoh. At the latest meeting of the Bayside Book Writers, Olivia’s friends and closest critics complain that her protagonist, Kamila is limp and dull. Lately, progress on her novel has stalled and Olivia feels uninspired in her writing.
