In present day, we meet Rose, a reporter obsessed with Darby’s potential involvement with a maid’s death back in 1952. In 1952, we get to meet Darby, a secretary school attendee who quickly gets enraptured with New York City’s jazz life. The Dollhouse centers around the Barbizon hotel in 1952 when it’s a hotel for women and half a century later when it’s been turned into condos. All of her books are incredibly gripping and the women are flawed, but fascinating heroines.
You get to learn more about each woman as their stories unfold. At the same time, it also simultaneously tells the story of two women and their connection to the building: one in the late 1800s/early 1900s and a woman about half a century later.
Fiona Davis Novelsįiona Davis has three historical fiction novels (my favorite) that are based around a significant building in New York’s history. She eventually moved on to getting her Masters in Journalism from Columbia Journalism School and worked as an editor and freelance writer. The best part? They do! That’s what reading the past three Fiona Davis novels have been like for me.īefore she became an accomplished author, Fiona Davis started as an actress in New York City (on and off Broadway). By the time the third one comes around you’re just hoping that it’s not a coincidence and they hit it out of the ballpark. You know when you read an author’s debut novel and it’s absolutely amazing? And all you can think is oh my gosh, I hope that they can pull that off again? You probably forget about them for a bit until hey, you hear a new novel is coming out from them soon! And surprise! It not only lives up to the first one, it’s just as amazing, if not maybe even better. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Something Good. Note: Today’s post contains affiliate links.
