Welcome to the world of Oliver Booth!
Oliver Booth wants nothing more than to join the ranks of Palm Beach’s high society. But with his arrogant personality, his garish wardrobe, and incompetent stewardship of an antique shop filled with gaudy reproductions, he doesn’t have a chance. Oliver’s luck takes a turnabout when the society doyenne Margaret Van Buren sends him and his assistant, Bernard, to Paris on a shopping spree to furnish her new estate. What ensues is a series of hilarious, Voltaire-esque misadventures as Oliver bumbles his way through the milieu of the elite. A satirical look at the lengths some people will go to enter the insular circle of the privileged, David Desmond’s novel is a witty glimpse into a world few of us know.
The Misadventures of Oliver Booth, published by the Greenleaf Book Group, is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound, and your local bookstore. $14.95, ISBN 978-1-929774-56-2.
