If you’re into historical fiction, you’ll love this. Similar to The Dollhouse, it takes place in a historic building in New York City, alternating back and forth between two different time periods. In this case, it’s the 1880’s and the 1980’s. There’s a bit of a murder mystery going on and it alternates between the story of Sarah Smythe (the “managerette” of the building in 1885) and Bailey Camden (a struggling interior designer in 1985). The characters are incredibly likable and relatable and I could not put it down!
