About this product

Product Information

When she arrives at the famed Barbizon Hotel in 1952, Darby McLaughlin is everything her hall mates aren't: plain, self-conscious, homesick and convinced she doesn't belong. Yet when she befriends Esme, a Barbizon maid, she's introduced to an entirely new, colourful yet seedy side of New York City. Over half a century later, journalist Rose Lewin hears rumours of Darby's involvement in a deadly skirmish with a hotel maid. A perfect distraction from her own imploding personal life, Rose becomes obsessed with finding the truth about what really happened at the hotel.

Reviews
"Davis's impeccably structured debut is equal parts mystery, tribute to midcentury New York City, and classic love story... Darby and Rose, in alternating chapters, weave intricate threads into twists and turns that ultimately bring them together; the result is good old-fashioned suspense."  -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "In her page-turning debut, Fiona Davis deftly weaves the storylines of two women living at the famed Barbizon hotel for women...Davis alternates the chapters between each woman until the twists and turns of their respective storylines ultimately weave together, upping the anticipation along the way." -- RealSimple.com "Fans of Suzanne Rindell's  Three-Martini Lunch  will enjoy this debut's strong sense of time and place as the author brings a legendary New York building to life and populates it with realistic characters who find themselves in unusual situations."  -- Library Journal "Davis delivers a fast-paced, richly-imagined debut that's almost impossible to put down." -- Kathleen Tessaro , author of The Perfume Collector "The ghosts of the famed NYC women's hotel come to life in The Dollhouse . Davis expertly weaves together the stories of several women who lived in the Barbizon during its heyday in the 1950s, and the broken-hearted journalist who decides to get the 'scoop' on a decades-old tragedy that happened in the building. A fun, page-turning mystery." -- Suzanne Rindell , author of  The Other Typist  and  Three-Martini Lunch   "Multigenerational and steeped in history, The Dollhouse is a story about women-- from the clicking anxiety of Katie Gibbs' secretaries to the willowy cool of Eileen Ford's models, to honey-voiced hatcheck girls and glamorous eccentrics with lapdogs named Bird. Davis celebrates the women of New York's present and past-- the ones who live boldly, independently, carving out lives on their own terms."  -- Elizabeth Winder , author of Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953 "Two coming-of-age stories rolled into an ode to New York City and the young women -- of past and present -- who have tried to forge lives and careers there. Poetic, romantic, crushing, and soulful." -- Jules Moulin , author of Ally Hughes Has Sex Sometimes, "Davis delivers a fast-paced, richly-imagined debut that's almost impossible to put down." -- Kathleen Tessaro, author of The Perfume Collector "The ghosts of the famed NYC women's hotel come to life in The Dollhouse . Davis expertly weaves together the stories of several women who lived in the Barbizon during its heyday in the 1950s, and the broken-hearted journalist who decides to get the 'scoop' on a decades-old tragedy that happened in the building. A fun, page-turning mystery." --Suzanne Rindell, author of  The Other Typist  and the forthcoming  Three-Martini Lunch   "Two coming-of-age stories rolled into an ode to New York City and the young women -- of past and present -- who have tried to forge lives and careers there.
