The Library of Lost Dollhouses

The Library of Lost Dollhouses

Told in vivid detail and with tremendous heart, The Library of Lost Dollhouses is a shape shifting story with a cast of dazzling characters.

I love the idea of highly extravagant dollhouses hiding things and enjoyed the details of how the artist made all the intricate pieces of her houses. Plus, the added mystery behind the origin of the dollhouses had kept me wanting to know more.

I also appreciated how both FMCs are fully-fleshed, in so far as I was able to feel what they were feeling. There were a few poignant moments that really had me holding my breath for them.

Emily Rankin and Caroline Hewitt brought this fascinating historical mystery to life. They gave each character their own natural inflections which brought even more flavor to the story.

This is a story that just flew by. As the story alternated between past and present, everything flowed together seamlessly as each chapter meshed together and further explained the mystery behind the doll houses.
