The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis is a quick and easy read. The book has history with added touches of romance, mystery, and even a bit of foodie interest. I really enjoy learning about the history of the Barbizon. The story, however, feels predictable with an ending that is too neatly tied up. The book is an entertaining summer but not one that will stay with me.

This is the perfect summer read. I liked there were 2 stories in 2 different era being told simultaneously. Nothing deep here, just a great book to lose yourself in while laying on the beach. Very enjoyable.
