Touching, entertaining, hopeful. A vivid sense of time, place, people's attitudes and fragilities * Sunday Times * Psychologically astute and emotionally absorbing, this is a heartfelt read * Daily Mail * 73 Dove Street is a pacy and evocative account of the struggles facing women of that era * Herald * Gripping . . . Julie Owen Moylan vividly recreates drab, grey postwar London and her characters are convincing to the end * The Times, 'Best New Historical Fiction for July 2023 * From the Rivoli Ballroom to the seedy nightlife of Soho, the characters leap off the page in this compelling mystery * Woman & Home * An incredibly vivid rendering of post-war London and the complicated lives of three woman whose fates intersect at a boarding house as they seek to take control of their own destinies. This was an engrossing read; emotional, immersive and utterly absorbing -- Jennifer Saint, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Ariadne</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> A wonderfully evocative, immersive novel that brings 50s London to life, from the smog and the nightlife to attitudes towards women. Julie Owen Moylan excels in creating female characters who the reader cares about. As the friendship between these three unlikely women grows, so does their hope for a better future. It's a vivid, absorbing and ultimately uplifting read * Sunday Express * A vivid and propulsive story of three women and three dangerous secrets, 73 Dove Street so brillaintly and evocatively captures Soho in the 50s that I really feel I was there -- Sophie Irwin, bestseslling author of <i>The Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting</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>
