"A straight-laced San Francisco librarian is surrounded by a dazzling cast of characters in Hooper's latest, which jumps from modern day to Belle Époque Paris before taking off like a rocket through the 20th century. An exploration of the link between art and artist, the secrets women must maintain in order to survive in a man's world, as well as the caustic effects of withholding the truth from those we love most. This one's an absolute gem." -- Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Queen "Elise Hooper's latest marvel takes readers on an enchanting journey from San Francisco to Paris, love to war, deception to redemption, as her main character--a little-known artist--moves out of the shadows into the limelight.

It's a story that ranges over a century and continents, but it's also a portrait of the artist as a young -- and not so young -- woman. It's a coming-of-age tale -- two in fact -- but it's also a beguiling mystery. And in every incarnation, it's as inspiring and extravagantly detailed as the miniatures at its heart." -- Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of Family Family "Who would have guessed at the transformative secrets a long-forgotten dollhouse could hold? In Elise Hooper's wonderful The Library of Lost Dollhouses, librarian Tildy Burrows discovers two mysterious miniature realms. As she reassembles the pieces of the dollhouses' puzzle -- traversing an array of times and places to do so -- an unknown image of the past and the historic women inhabiting it begins to materialize before her. As Tildy solves the dollhouses' mysteries, she also answers long-standing questions about herself in this compelling tale." -- Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Queens of Crime "Elise Hooper's latest marvel takes readers on an enchanting journey from San Francisco to Paris, love to war, deception to redemption, as her main character--a little-known artist--moves out of the shadows into the limelight.

- r***t (99)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOrdered Blu-rays and couldn’t be happier. All arrived in perfect condition—exactly as described, securely packaged, and shipped quickly. Discs and cases looked brand new, like they'd barely been touched. Great seller, great value, and zero issues from start to finish. Would definitely buy from again. Highly recommended!
- l***5 (497)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived in excellent condition, looked new. It was not the edition pictured in the listing. Since I was buying it to complete a collection, I was looking for the same edition to match the others in the series. Seller promptly responded & refunded, so no complaint about the seller. This is not the first seller I've bought from that used a stock photo that didn't match the edition of the listing. I don't mind a stock photo, but wish booksellers would use the stock photo that matches.
- a***v (723)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOutstanding customer service. Exceeded expectations. Unfortunately, package didn't arrive by expected date through no fault of the seller. It was presumably misplaced by the carrier during shipment. Seller proactively issued a full refund and said to "enjoy" the DVD if it is eventually delivered. Not expected, and certainly not necessary, given it wasn't their fault. A stellar vendor who goes the extra mile to ensure their customers are satisfied. Highly recommended!!Pink Floyd - Pulse (#135625367718)
