The book is set in Paris in the 1920s. English socialite Genevieve Shelby King is partying with artists and writers in Montparnasse. She has a rich husband, a luxurious apartment and a huge collection of shoes. However, she feels that something is missing in her life. When she sees her rival wearing beautiful shoes at a party, her entire collection suddenly seems worthless. The shoes were made by Paolo Zachari, an eccentric fashion designer who chooses his own clients. For some reason, he has decided that Genevieve will not be his client. However, the woman becomes obsessed with the unattainable shoes and their creator, and she is willing to risk her entire life to get what she wants.
