 A heady glimpse of 1920's Paris August 23, 2007
Joanne Schofield (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.

br /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!

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face, February 25, 2010
M. K. Addison (Brighton, England)
As other reveiwers have noted this isn't your usual chicklit. It has so much more going for it and I found it so interesting reading about 1920's Paris. The forbidden romance of Geneveive and Zachari really does keep you gripped, and you honestly want it to all work out for them. With lovable characters and a sparkling setting, a hidden past and sexual encounters this really does tick all the boxes.

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!
