From the Rivoli Ballroom to the seedy nightlife of Soho, the characters leap off the page in this compelling mystery

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, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne

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 The Stranding

A wonderfully evocative, immersive novel that brings 50s London to life, from the smog and the nightlife to attitudes towards women.

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 The Garnett Girls

Powerful, poignant and so beautifully drawn - every single scene comes alive

Frances Quinn, author of The Smallest Man

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 Another Life

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 Blood & Sugar

Stark choices and dangerous secrets disrupt the lives of three damaged but resilient working-class women in this compelling emotional drama

From the Rivoli Ballroom to the seedy nightlife of Soho, the characters leap off the page in this compelling mystery

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 This Lovely City

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 Single Bald Female

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 The List of Suspicious Things

A beautiful story of friendship and new beginnings

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 The Clockwork Girl

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!

A brilliant evocation of the seedy side of post-war London, wrapped around a story of the power of female friendship, this is the very best kind of escapism

Gripping and atmospheric, this novel will worm its way into your heart

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 No Such Thing As Perfect

Brimming with 1950s detail and atmosphere, pacy and evocative, authentic and well-drawn. An enjoyable read

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!

A gorgeous, evocative novel that's part love story, part coming of age and part mystery. But all parts are superlative!

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 Small Pleasures

It's beautifully written and particularly wonderful on forbidden love, loss and forgiveness

I loved this. Dovie and Ava are both such compelling characters and the evocation of time and place so strong - I was irresistibly drawn into their stories. Sad, rage-inducing and uplifting - a very emotional read

Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

Julie Owen Moylan expertly places her readers in a New York apartment, where you feel the heat and hear the tinny radio . . .

The characters are deftly drawn and emotionally engaging, and the plot develops at just the right pace, with unexpected twists. An accomplished debut

The mystery at the heart of this novel had me hooked from the start. I spent a weekend sitting in 1950s bars, listening to jazz with Gillian and Dovie, then skipping ahead twenty years to walk the same streets with Ava, remembering the awkwardness of being a teenager. Heartbreaking but with a satisfying ending, I will remember this book for a long time

Old school New York, cocktails and jazz bars and pulsing heat. A story of love and loneliness, it's heart-breaking and complex and oh so real. I loved it

Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake

Exploring the inner lives of two of the most famous people of the 20th century with tenderness and compassion, Elizabeth and Marilyn brilliantly illuminates the women behind the myths

An immersive and emotionally complex portrait of two brilliant women under unimaginable pressure. I loved the way the stories interwove to explore how the world’s adulation for Marilyn was so crushing for the vulnerable Norma Jeane, and how the power Elizabeth had was so reductive for the woman Lilibet wanted to be. Brava!

We think we know these iconic women but Julie reveals them in a whole new way. Atmospheric, glamorous and fun. A hugely enjoyable read

Julie Owen Moylan

Sexy, electrically stylish, and beautiful - a gorgeous story about sisterhood, and a glamorous, evocative passport to a period we all long to get lost in. Julie's such an incredible writer

What a brilliant tale of two sisters in Berlin. Atmospheric and the characters and flawed, complex and believable. Julie's best novel yet

A tale of two sisters and a city, all three of them so vividly drawn, I felt I knew them. An almost unbearably poignant story of missed chances, long-hidden lies and women fighting the odds to grab happiness where they can. Superbly atmospheric, with convincingly flawed characters that just leap off the page

An all-singing, all-dancing, moving and masterful book about two complex sisters living in incredibly complex times. Mid-twentieth century Berlin and the glittering world of the Babylon Circus are brilliantly evoked and, as always with Julie Owen Moylan's writing, the characters - astutely rendered, flawed and convincing - live with us long after we've closed the book. Brilliant

The sisters are terrific, unsentimentally and vividly portrayed. So, too, is Berlin, filled with menace, glitter and upcoming destruction. Bold and brave and absorbing

What a brilliantly evocative, moving and emotionally affecting read. Leni and Nette's struggles and the twists and turns of their relationship were so well realised and had me absolutely gripped. The Babylon Circus shimmered off the page, I could picture it completely. I raced through the final pages late at night desperate to know what would happen!

Immersive, tender, simmering with secrets - and such a richly-drawn portrait of Berlin from 1926 to 1961

With hints of Atonement, this is an epic novel, spanning decades as it explores with compassion and humanity the relationship of two sisters torn between the love and obligation they feel towards one another, and their desire for freedom and a better life that will split them apart. It&rsquo;s about secrets and hidden truths and the deep and long-lasting consequences of both. Above all it&rsquo;s a story of missed opportunity, chance, guilt, love and forgiveness. I devoured this novel with its rich, vivid prose and its complex characters, tossed into conflict and dire circumstances through no fault of their own. A deeply thought-provoking and emotional story I will be thinking of long after I finished the final page. Utterly luminous

Louise Fein, author of The London Bookshop Affair

Set against the backdrop of the exotic nightclub of the title, The Circus of Mirrors is the story of two sisters, Leni and Annette, and their struggles to survive in a Berlin torn apart by first war, then communism. Moylan has researched her period thoroughly, and her characters are well drawn, drawing the reader on to a heart-breaking conclusion

A sweeping saga of sisterhood, missed chances and a glittering circus sparkles fiercely against mid-20th century Berlin. Gorgeous and poignant. A captivating tale of two sisters that at turns dazzles and devastates

A dazzling ride through mid century Berlin, this is a story of both a place and the personal, as two sisters try to find their happiness as the world around them falls apart. Julie does mid century so well and her third book is no exception

Jodie Chapman, author of Oh, Sister

What a glittering and enticing world you've created- a book not to be read but swallowed whole

The story of the sisters' tragic lives brims with atmosphere

Touching, entertaining, hopeful. A vivid sense of time, place, people's attitudes and fragilities

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

It's beautifully written and particularly wonderful on forbidden love, loss and forgiveness

Gripping . . . Julie Owen Moylan vividly recreates drab, grey postwar London and her characters are convincing to the end

Berlin, 1926. After the death of their parents, sisters Leni and Annette only have each other. Desperate to support her younger sister, Leni finds work at a notorious cabaret: the Babylon Circus, a place where reality and fantasy merge. 
 
Leni is happiest hiding in the shadows, until she meets resident pianist, Paul, beginning a tentative love affair that will play out over the next forty years. 
 
But can a love born within the feverish walls of the Babylon Circus ever survive? And can the bond between Leni and Annette – tugged in opposite directions of their own – also endure?
