    READING NOTES ‘A phenomenal success’ The Age ‘A true original’ Sydney Morning Herald Rosalie Ham LOVE. REVENGE. COUTURE. THE STORY CONTINUES... ABOUT THE BOOK It is 1953 and Melbourne society is looking forward to coronation season, the grand balls and celebrations for the young queen-to-be. Tilly Dunnage is, however, working for a pittance in a second-rate Collins Street salon. Her talents go unappreciated, and the madame is a bully and a cheat, but Tilly has a past she is desperate to escape and good reason to prefer anonymity. Meanwhile, Sergeant Farrat and the McSwiney clan have been searching for their resident dressmaker ever since she left Dungatar in flames. And they aren’t the only ones. The inhabitants of the town are still out for revenge (or at least someone to foot the bill for the new high street). So when Tilly’s name starts to feature in the fashion pages, the jig is up. Along with Tilly’s hopes of keeping her secrets hidden… ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rosalie Ham is the author of four previous books, including the bestselling novels The Year of the Farmer and The Dressmaker, now an award-winning film starring Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth, Judy Davis and Hugo Weaving.

She holds a master of arts in creative writing and teaches literature. 2 THEMES Fashion and costume ‘Clothes make a statement, costumes tell a story.

It has proved to be extremely popular with audiences, being the biggest grossing Australian film of 2015 despite opening late in the year. In America it has earned a respectable twelve million dollars plus in a short time and has already won industry awards and much critical acclaim. The fine, restrained performances by Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth and Julia Blake give this film a much needed anchoring. Judy Davis’s performances are all fine and therein lies one of the film’s problems – she has only one character to play and that character veers inexplicably between being an addled, crotchety old crank, a very lively and funny old eccentric and a sober, astute, if reflective sad old lady.
