Description
The House of Dolls by Barbara Comyns is a poignant and intriguing novel about two women struggling to come to terms with their lives. Evelyn and Berti, both in their later years, find themselves living in a boarding house in Kensington, where they have established an unconventional business.
As they navigate the complexities of their situation, including a reluctant landlady and a young dentist from Putney who has caught Ivy's eye, it becomes clear that their lives are not without their problems. With their makeshift prostitution ring providing a meager income, Evelyn and Berti must confront the harsh realities of their choices.
This thought-provoking novel explores themes of loneliness, regret, and the human condition, raising questions about the complexities of female relationships and the consequences of one's actions.
