The Dressmaker follows Tilly Dunnage, who has come home to her tiny country hometown to care for her mother. The now accomplished Parisian courtier, Tilly starts making money creating beautiful frocks for the unfriendly townsfolk of Dungatar. However, having driven her away years previously, Tilly spends most of her time planning revenge on the residents. Rosalie’s novel is full of dark humour, haute couture and eccentric country-dwelling neighbours.

Follow Tilly as she learns about Dungatar’s secrets, discovers who she is and finally, as she exacts her revenge. In conclusion, this Australian gothic is the thrill you need to keep yourself well-read and entertained.
