From Little Stack
A dual timeslip novel, one timeline tells the story of Dovie and Gillian, roommates living in an apartment on the Lower East Side. Behind closed doors they dance intimately, share loving embraces and passionate kisses knowing they must hide their love from a world that views it as unnatural. And although they are terrified of being discovered and losing everything, their love endures.
This is a beautiful and unforgettable debut that explores topics such as homophobia, racism, mental illness, and neglect alongside everyday issues faced by women of the time.
Transport yourself to mid-century New York in this compelling and evocative story of secrets, jealousy and hidden love.
New York City, 1955. In the dimmed lights of their apartment, Dovie and Gillian love each other in secret. Mixing drinks, dancing to slow jazz, they guard their lives closely, knowing they'll never truly be safe.
And yet, outside, someone suspects the truth. Gillian fears the worst, and grips on to Dovie more tightly. But Dovie, seeing the good in people, lets the door open . . .
Is this their chance to finally be free? Or are they in even more danger than before?
