I really loved Davis' previous novel "The Dollhouse", so I really looked forward to her next novel and "The Address" did not disappoint. Again, there were two story lines, one set in the 1880s and one in the 1980s.

I thought that the "present-day" storyline was more interesting this time than in "The Dollhouse", but some of the characters seemed a little overdone. The protagonist of this story, Bailey, was really well developed though.

Overall, I preferred the past storyline to the present-day one because I really liked the era it was set in. Sara was a wonderful protagonist and her stint in the insane asylum was really well described. Her storyline was rather heartbreaking.

What I did not like as much in this novel was the ending because it seemed rather rushed. Still, this is one of the best historical novels I've read in a while.

I loved the characters and the two alternating timelines. They truly are unique but at the same time, they interweave. I was worried for the first few chapters that I was going to be bored by this story, but was pleasantly surprised by it. A very well written story.

What a book! Really enjoyed! Highly recommend. Perfect book club pick!

Loved it! In The Address, a young British woman winds up in America, managing the newest apartment building for the wealthy of New York City. While a big part of this novel is a tragic love story, I loved this glimpse into the history of the Dakota, and how it was such an innovative apartment building for it's time. The dual storylines of two generations - current day and 100 years ago - were both very well done. The details, tragedies, triumphs and a few great twists unfolded at just the right time and pace. And I especially loved the look into historical NYC. This was just a great story, and a quick read, although it was a tad farfetched or predictable in a couple of places. But it's still a near flawless tale that kept me reading to see what happened next - I pretty much raced through it. Many thanks to Netgalley and Penguin/Dutton Books for an ARC of this wonderful work of historical fiction. 4.5 stars!
