I loved the mix of past and present, vintage and modern. It's a great story of love, loss, and starting over.

Besides the WWII era,the 1920's, and the Western era; this was about the only eras I was really into regarding reading stories. Yet, I think I might have just found a new era to add to my list. That is if every other book in this time era is as fabulous as this book. This book does not read like a debut novel. It reads like it came from a seasoned professional. I can't wait to see what author, Fiona Davis comes out with next.
I loved everything about this book from the era, the language, Darby, Esme, Sam, and Rose, and the beginning, middle, and ending. Sometimes when there are dualing storylines, they do not always flow together or one side is stronger then the other. I felt that both Darby and Esme's story was as strong as Rose's. I loved the connection between the two time periods. There was a surprise or two thrown in the story that I did not see coming.
Classic line in the book "Now, Paul comes from money but is dumb as a box of hair."
Don't forget to book your reservation and pick up a copy of The Dollhouse. A must read and a break-through winner from author, Fiona Davis!

I loved the premise, but was slightly underwhelmed with the characters / execution.
