Fellow historical fiction nerds, you will love this! SO many of you recommended it to me, so thank you for that! There are two strong women (both in New York) and the book tells their parallel stories (taking place in modern day as well as the fifties). It’s set at the glamorous Barbizon Hotel (referred to back then as The Dollhouse, as it was where all of the aspiring models, editors, and secretaries lived back in the fifties… now it’s condos). There is a dark secret and a big mystery to untangle, which happens as the novel progresses. Such a good one.
