The debut novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos reimagines the life of Louis Daguerre, the inventor of photography, who becomes convinced that the world is going to end when his mind unravels due to mercury poisoning. He is determined to reconnect with the only woman he has ever loved before the End comes.

Louis Daguerre's story is set against the backdrop of a Paris prone to bohemian excess and social unrest. Poets and dandies debate art and style in the cafes while students and rebels fill the garrets with revolutionary talk and gun smoke. It is here, amid this strange and beguiling setting, that Louis Daguerre sets off to capture his doomsday subjects. Louis enlists the help of the womanizing poet Charles Baudelaire, known to the salon set as the "Prince of Clouds" and a jaded but beautiful prostitute named Pigeon.

Together they scour the Paris underworld for images worthy of Daguerre's list. But Louis is also confronted by a chance to reunite with the only woman he's ever loved. Half a lifetime ago, Isobel Le Fournier kissed Louis Daguerre in a wine cave outside of Orleans. The result was a proposal, a rejection, and a misunderstanding that outlasted three kings and an emperor. Now, in the countdown to his apocalypse, Louis wants to understand why he has carried the memory of that kiss for so long.

Comfortable and well made, but the white color is off
Size: 8, Color: Sand
I've owned the microsuede sand boots for over and year and they're very comfortable. I don't wear them a ton, just for a few hours here and there to church. But after a year they have no scratches or nicks, they've held up well. I just ordered them in white. They are beautiful boots, but they're not a true white. They're more of an off white. Also - be aware - they are designed with little squares all over them that are hard to see in the pictures - you have to look at them in the 3D view to see them. I liked the pattern and the look of the boots, I just wasn't happy with the color. I'm so disappointed - I returned them.

Surprisingly wide enough
Size: 9, Color: Black
Was surprised that they're wide enough. Usually, shoes that say they're wide, aren't really wide. They're very cute and "hopefully" when I do wear them out, they'll continue to stay comfortable. I ordered both the Coffee Bean and Black, size 9. Usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2, the fit has plenty of room in the toe area with size 9.

Cute but Ouch
Size: 8.5, Color: Sand
Theses shoes are cute and comfortable to walk in *comfortable to the soles of your feet* HOWEVER, there is part of the inside seem on the outer right ankle that scrapes my leg with every step. I tried to see if wearing them down would help, wearing band-aids, putting duct tape on my leg, mole skin - but nothing helps, by the end of the work day I still feel that scraping seem. And I'm not usually sensitive to this kind of thing. I'm way outside my return window, so I'll have to pass them along to someone else with my same shoe size or donate them. Overall they're a good shoe - i just think mine had an issue when the seems were finished
