⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I ever took the time to make a list of authors who do not disappoint, Fiona Davis would be on that list. Her latest novel, set during the Red Scare of the 1950s. As always, she creates a world you feel you could walk right in to. In this book, she also crafts a complex female friendship that is one of the best I‘ve read. #fionadavis #thechelseagirls #historicalfiction #read #bookrecommendations #booknerds

Fascinating historical novel, alternating between the story of Clara in the 1920s and Virginia in the 1970s, connected by their experiences at Grand Central Terminal and a single piece of art. The parallels in the women's stories illuminate the situations of women in those eras and the difficulty they face in making their way in a world dominated by men. Each woman finds strength to carve her path and to find strength from her own determination.

I liked the characters and the overall storyline in this one, but thought the pacing was a little rushed at times and that problems sometimes got resolved a little too quickly/conveniently to be realistic. Overall though, a solid pick for historical fiction with some strong female leads.

3.5/5 ⭐️
