73 Dove Street

Powerful, poignant and so beautifully drawn - every single scene comes alive -- Frances Quinn, author of <i>The Smallest Man</i> Once again, Julie Owen Moylan has created a mid century world that feels completely real and vivid. I've loved walking the damp postwar London streets with Edie and Tommie, chain-smoking in gin bars and watching these women grow. Julie has such a knack for setting up a story, creating a mystery that pulls you right in. A hugely enjoyable book. -- Jodie Chapman, author of <i>Another Life</i> Set in my end of 1950s London, the sense of time and place is beautifully evocative, the ghost of the war, and the sense of societal change about to come. It's about pride and shame and love and loss and ultimately hope -- Laura Shepherd-Robinson, author of <i>Blood & Sugar</i> Brilliant! Totally immersed in postwar London. I loved every page of this wonderful novel. A mystery that keeps you guessing, difficult women and that seductive 1950s atmosphere - all my favourite things! -- Louise Hare, author of <i>This Lovely City</i> I loved it even more than Julie's debut That Green Eyed Girl. Soho in the 50s is brilliantly done, as are the female characters. Brava Julie! -- Georgina Moore, author of <i>The Garnett Girls</i> Another fabulous read by the brilliant Julie Owen Moylan. A gripping and touching feminist read about three women in one London boarding house in 1958. Julie writes about mid-20th century women like no-one else! -- Laura Price, author of <i>Single Bald Female</i> A corker. It's the story of three working class women in 1950's London. It's so evocative, you can *smell* the gas fires, the lard, the perfume, the talc, the gin. It's bleakly honest about women's lot at the time (not so very long ago) and the tale is deftly woven. I loved how the strands came together, very satisfying -- Kate Sawyer, author of <i>The Stranding</i> I loved That Green Eyed Girl by Julie Owen Moylan so had high hopes for 73 Dove Street and it did not disappoint. This beautiful postwar story of three working class women is so evocative and moving. Adored it. -- Jennie Godfrey, author of <i>The List of Suspicious Things</i> Another absolute cracker from Julie Owen Moylan. The compelling and vividly-evoked story of three brave and complex women in 1950s London. -- Anna Mazzola, author of <i>The Clockwork Girl</i> Hugely atmospheric, this haunting and thought-provoking read explores the lives of three women whose tales become entwined through a single address. Set in 1958 London, brought to life by immersive, detailed descriptions, it looks at women's roles in a changing society. It's a really tough read at times but written with such heart. A fascinating, bold read. Bravo Julie bravo! -- Liz Hyder, author of <i>The Gifts</i> Praise for That Green Eyed Girl * : * Loved this . . . I was gripped from the first page and eked out the last chapters as I didn't want to leave the smoky clubs of 1950's Manhattan. A stellar line-up of brave, complicated and bright women . . . prepare to lose yourself in a tale of love, loss and deceit -- Sara Cox, Radio 2 DJ and host of BBC 2’s Between the Covers Summer sparkles in this book and so does the prose! -- Damian Barr I so enjoyed That Green Eyed Girl. The atmosphere of city heat and dust and stifling apartments was so vividly evoked. And I was equally invested in both narrative strands . . . I was hooked from the beginning -- Clare Chambers, author of <i>Small Pleasures</i> A gorgeous, evocative novel that's part love story, part coming of age and part mystery. But all parts are superlative! * Red Online * It's beautifully written and particularly wonderful on forbidden love, loss and forgiveness * Daily Mail * Julie Owen Moylan expertly places her readers in a New York apartment, where you feel the heat and hear the tinny radio . . . There's a cinematic quality to this novel; the characters are deftly drawn and emotionally engaging, and the plot develops at the right pace, with unexpected twists. An accomplished debut * Woman & Home, BOOK OF THE MONTH * That Green Eyed Girl takes hold of you and draws you along. I loved the little connective details between the timelines and the unravelling of the gentle mystery of it all. Hits a perfect bittersweet note - I predict big things -- Kate Sawyer, author of <i>The Stranding</i> I adored it. It's gripping (I stayed up until 1am on a school night to finish it), moving and so wonderfully evocative of post-war London. Julie's firmly an auto-buy author for me now, and I can't wait to read what she writes next -- Emma Hughes, author of <i>No Such Thing As Perfect</i>
