Good afternoon, wherever this newsletter finds you. Maybe you’ve been working remotely but are mulling a full-on return, as our first lady seems to be doing. Maybe you’re posting a permanent out-of-office message, like the director of the National Portrait Gallery just did. Maybe you’re navigating some tricky interoffice waters, like King Charles is. Whatever your particular work-life balance is on this summer-Friday afternoon, this newsletter has something for you. More Monday… |

It takes about 14 seconds of speaking with Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, co-owner of Godmothers, the Southern California bookstore-to-the-stars, to understand why Prince Harry describes her as his fairy godmother. She has the magnetic selling power one might expect from a woman who, in her past life, spent three decades ascending to the highest rungs of the publishing world as a literary agent to the stars, working with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Dani Shapiro, and Rob Lowe. “People have been calling me ‘fairy godmother’ for many, many years.”
In conversation with senior editor Keziah Weir, the Montecito bookstore owner talks about her life transition, her beloved and glittering social circle, and the books she can’t stop thinking about. |
