Why read it?
1 author picked The Dollhouse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of my favorite book covers of all time, and the story is pretty spectacular, too. I adore New York City, and Fiona Davis’ novels featuring historic buildings throughout the city are some of my most enjoyable reads.
