littletaiko 's review for:
The Dollhouse
by Fiona Davis
Was hoping for more from this book but did enjoy it overall. The premise is interesting as the story centers on the Barbizon Hotel for Women in the 1950's where women stayed while pursuing the few career options they had as models or secretaries. It alternates between a modern day journalist named Rose and Darby, a young woman in the 50's trying to become a secretary. Both stories start very slowly and neither woman is particularly engaging. Usually, I just wanted to shake them and tell them to grow up. However, I eventually became a bit more drawn into the Darby story line and was interested enough to finish. The ending was just a bit too pat to be satisfactory.
