Tilly Dunnage has come home to care for her mad old mother. She left the small Victorian town of Dungatar years before, and became an accomplished couturier in Paris. Now she earns her living making exquisite frocks for the people who drove her away when she was ten. Through the long Dungatar nights, she sits at her sewing machine, planning revenge. The Dressmaker is a modern Australian classic, much loved for its bittersweet humour. Set in the 1950s, its subjects include haute couture, love and hate, and a cast of engagingly eccentric characters. It is now a major motion picture, starring Kate Winslet and fine Australian actors including Judy Davis, Hugo Weaving, Liam Hemsworth and extras from the author's hometown of Jerilderie.

A darkly satirical novel of love, revenge, and 1950s haute couture. Ok I was growing up in the 50's and loved paging through my mother's fashion magazines, mainly Burda, so this may remind me of something.

The film was on TV, so I watched while skimming the book. Some things are in different order but the film was beautifully done and had the basics and handsome Liam Hemsworth.
