Genevieve Shelby King wants to be a poet and she thinks that the literary scene in nineteen-twenties Paris is the place where she'll achieve her ambition. Her husband's money helps to get her accepted, but it's as a society beauty that she becomes well-known rather than as a writer. She's always beautifully dressed, but is obsessed by shoes and possesses hundreds of pairs.

If the nineteen twenties interest you then you might also enjoy [[Searching for Tilly]] by Susan Sallis which is set in southern England. [[Lover's Hollow]] by Orna Ross looks at the political divide in the Irish Civil War whilst [[The Girl From World's End]] by Leah Fleming is set in the same period in the Yorkshire Dales. But if shoes are your passion then have a look at [[Clicking her Heels]] by Lucy Hepburn.
