Someone Else's Shoes
Overburdened Sam Kemp accidentally leaves a London gym with the bag of glamorous Nisha Cantor and discovers a pair of designer red shoes inside. The shoes briefly lend Sam confidence at work just as Nisha's wealthy husband announces a divorce, locks her out of their hotel, and cuts off her money. Their furious collision expands into an alliance with other women whose skills become essential to resisting the men exploiting them. Funny and energetic, this novel suits readers who enjoy switched belongings, class contrasts, female friendship, workplace frustration, caper-like revenge, and stories about discovering strength while literally walking in someone else's shoes.
