New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice An Indie Next Pick

A Best Book of the Year from NPR, Boston Globe, Buzzfeed, Esquire, San Francisco Chronicle, Time Out, Self, Jezebel, The Portland Mercury, Electric Literature, and Entropy Magazine

"It just sounds terrific. It sounds like opera." --Joan Acocella, The New Yorker

"Sprawling, soaring, bawdy, and plotted like a fine embroidery." --Scott Simon, NPR

"Dazzling." --Wall Street Journal "A brilliant performance." --Washington Post

"Sweeping, richly detailed." --People "Masterful." --Wired "Spellbinding." --BuzzFeed

A "wild opera of a novel,"* The Queen of the Night tells the mesmerizing story of Lilliet Berne, an orphan who left the American frontier for Europe and was swept into the glamour and terror of Second Empire France. She became a sensation of the Paris Opera, with every accolade but an original role--her chance at immortality. When one is offered to her, she finds the libretto is based on her deepest secret, something only four people have ever known. But who betrayed her? With "epic sweep, gorgeous language, and haunting details,"** Alexander Chee shares Lilliet's cunning transformation from circus rider to courtesan to legendary soprano, retracing the path that led to the role that could secure her reputation--or destroy her with the secrets it reveals.

"If Lilliet Berne were a man, she might have been what nineteenth-century novels would call a swashbuckler: the kind of destiny-courting, death-defying character who finds intrigue and peril (and somehow, always, a fantastic pair of pantaloons) around every corner." --Entertainment Weekly

Excellent support and comfort.
Size: 12, Color: Black/Carrier Grey
A comfortable, lightweight shoe, with a nice heal cushion that gives slightly but not mushy or squishy. Very breathable. A solid choice for everyday sidewalks and trails.

Almost perfect shoe for any use.
Size: 9.5, Color: Steel Grey/Cloud Grey
Almost the perfect shoe for anything if you get the right size. I sent back 1st pair, no reviews on new model so found out hard way sizing is a bit off. Definitely size down a half size! They are long! Also note that if you're feet are at all wide, go for wide version. I have normal width(4 1/4 at widest point) feet and its snug on me. My only real complaint about these shoes is they could use about 10% more arch. My arch is medium height. They're so comfortable I didn't even notice until the end of a long work day. Could also just be due to my current (194) weight. Color/design is fantastic, though I would like to see more color options like previous models had. Hopefully they just haven't launched full line-up yet, since I purchased in first month of availability. Also, these are seriously better than my expensive Kayano lite 2's.

Cute but size up
Size: 5 Toddler, Color: Beige Silver Glitter, Size: 5 Toddler, Color: Beige Silver Glitter
These are super cute, made well, feel much more solid than any other jellies we’ve purchased but size up. These are the size 5 Melissa jellies against the size 5 Sophia Grainge Mary Jane’s. These Melissa wouldn’t go on her foot, the SG Mary Jane was huge.
