I did not know that this was the author's debut novel until I went to review it on Goodreads and let's just say I am shocked! I will definitely be seeking out more of Davis' work in the future because of how much I enjoyed this title. The Dollhouse is an excellent piece of literature, going back and forth between the stories of two women living in NYC in the 1950s and the present day. If I had to describe this one, I would call it a historical fiction mystery novel with feminist undertones. Davis is a master of descriptive writing and wrote the settings, New York City in both time periods, beautifully. The story itself is fast-paced, easy to read, and I would recommend it to a wide variety of readers.
