Rezensionen

"Revealed through tantalizing flashbacks, brimming with a delicious sense of malevolence and unease, Dunlay's deeply atmospheric debut conjures the decadence of Rome, the duplicity of government officials, and the conflicting expectations of a young woman trying to come into her own." - Booklist (starred review)

"Descriptions of couture dresses, jewelry, and extravagant accessories provide enjoyable eye candy, and it is easy to visualize Teddy's well-clad life in Rome on a big screen in this satisfying meetup of suspense, rom-com, family drama, and historical fiction. Make an Aperol spritz, get out the lounge chair, and enjoy this Roman holiday." - Kirkus Reviews

"Teddy is a luscious joyride of a novel, a portrait of a lady who's a beautiful welter of lust, appetite, and longing. Teddy is Lily Bart with gusto and moxie, Isabel Archer with tenacious grit. I rooted for her gleefully until the surprise ending, which Dunlay pulls off with sly, masterful timing. Glamorous and suspenseful, this is a literary romp." - Kate Christensen, Pen/Faulkner award winning author of The Great Man and Welcome Home, Stranger

"As if Mad Men had a baby with The White Lotus, this novel has it all: atmosphere, glamour, danger, a heroine at the center of a web she doesn't understand, so you want to protect her even as you cheer for her to escape. Teddy is the beautiful flaw, the ungovernable passion at the center of every woman that makes us perfectly imperfect, human, and real." - Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family

"Teddy is a glitteringly glamorous and gossipy trip to 1960s Rome with a chaotically charming protagonist and a transporting setting, all with a mystery at its heart. Dunlay's gorgeously immersive novel will fill a Lessons in Chemistry shaped hole on your shelf (and heart)." - Ellery Lloyd, New York Times Bestselling author of The Club

"A smart page turner with an irresistible heroine-glamorous, exuberant, and propulsive, this is a story that will stay with me for a long time." - Daisy Buchanan, author of Limelight and Insatiable

"I loved the claustrophobic, glamourous world Emily Dunlay has created in Teddy, a heroine who will make your heart flutter. There is a timelessness to Teddy's feelings of constraint and guilt and trying to be all things to all to people, that too many women will still recognise all too well. A heady, steamy novel about desire for people, possessions and ultimately the self." - Araminta Hall, author of One of the Good Guys
