On Saturday, Café 349 played host to a book signing by an author with local roots.
“My family has a cottage in Norway Bay. I grew up coming up to Norway Bay every summer,” said Shannon Mullen, a high school teacher hailing from Toronto who had her debut novel See What Flowers on display.
She described her work as a contemporary fiction about love and mental illness. Told through alternating narratives – similar to the New York Times bestseller Gone Girl – the story begins with a man named Adam who wakes up in jail in Vancouver and is not sure how he got there. Together with his partner Emma in Toronto, they have to piece together what happened.
