Product Description

Product Description
English society beauty, Genevieve Shelby King parties to the utmost with the Anglo-American artists and writers of Montparnasse. She has a rich husband, a glamorous apartment and an enormous shoe collection. But there is something hollow at the centre of Genevieve's charmed life. When she spots a pair of unique and exquisite shoes on the feet of an arch rival one night, her whole collection - indeed everything she has - seems suddenly worthless. The exclusive designer Paolo Zachari, renowned for his fabulous shoes and eccentric behaviour, hand-picks his clients according to whim. And he has determined to say no to Genevieve. As her desire for the pair of unobtainable shoes develops into an obsession with their creator, Genevieve's elaborately designed life comes under threat, and she is forced to confront the emptiness at its heart.

From the Publisher
A tale of forbidden love and must-have shoes set in 1920s Paris. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heady glimpse of 1920's Paris, 23 Aug 2007
By Joanne Schofield (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Shoe Queen (Hardcover)
It's Paris in the 1920's and society wife Genevieve is living the bohemian highlife with non stop parties and debauchery in bohemian Montparnasse. However when she is introduced to the infamous shoe designer Paolo Zachari her life begins to spiral out of control.

I don't really want to tag this book as chicklit as this genre seems to have a bad press of late but it is - with a 1920's edge! What a great book; it's easy to read, has an entertaining plot and is bursting with intoxicating descriptions of 1920's Paris. If you want to sit and sink into a different era for a few hours then buy this book, you won't be disappointed. Oh and this version even comes in a fab handbag size to make it even more perfect!

3.0 out of 5 stars 1920s Paris . . . . ., 8 Feb 2008
This book has more of a serious edge to it that most of the 'chick-lit' it is grouped with. Although an unchallenging read it is clear that the writer is passionate about shoes and the era. It really does give you an insight into the Bohemian lifestyle of 1920s Paris where tuberculosis and drinks at the Ritz go hand in hand. This book may also make you look at your feet in a whole new light!
