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?

I so enjoyedThat Green Eyed Girl. The atmosphere of city heat and dust and stifling apartments wasso vividly evoked. And I was equally invested in both narrative strands . . .I was hooked from the beginning
The mystery at the heart of this novelhad me hooked from the start.Ispent a weekend sitting in 1950s bars,listening to jazzwith 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
Not only assured, pacy and involving, but both heartbreaking and heartmending
I've spent the whole day reading this mesmerising book.Such adevastating, grippingstory andstunning, powerfulwriting. Once I started I just could not stop
