The Dressmaker
 |
A remarkable tale of love, hate, and haute couture. Tilly Dunnage returns to her home town in country Victoria after twenty years away, armed with extraordinary dressmaking skills and tea chests full of exotic fabrics. The town’s women are transformed by her garments, but nothing can change their underlying malice.

AuthorRosalie Ham
Rosalie Ham was born and raised in the Riverina, southern NSW, and now lives in Brunswick, Victoria. She studied drama and literature before taking up writing seriously and has written three stage plays and one radio play which were performed in Melbourne. Her highly original novels The Dressmaker and Summer at Mount Hope are written with a generous dose of black humour.

Who loved this book?Kay Attali, Development Associate - Trinity College
The characters in The Dressmaker are instantly recognisable to any one who has grown up in an isolated Victorian rural community, or to anyone who has lived with neighbours for that matter. It's tragic and hilarious, and I and the (at least) 10 people to whom I've given the book have thoroughly enjoyed it (and Summer at Mount Hope) and we can't wait for Rosalie Ham's next novel to appear.
