The Dressmaker of Dachau by Mary Chamberlain

The Dressmaker of Dachau by Mary Chamberlain

`The Dressmaker of Dachau is a thrilling story, brilliantly toldI couldn't put it down. Ada Vaughan is a character to fall in love with: utterly real, flawed and beguiling’ Saskia Sarginson, author of R&J pick, The Twins and Without You

`I found myself completely swept up in this tale of love, ambition and vanity’ Juliet West, author of Before the Fall

`A powerful and gripping tale of longings and dreams, and how a chance meeting that seems to offer the answers and more, instead comes with devastating consequences. It’s a story about what a person will do and can do under force.
The world before, during and after World War II is amazingly well-drawn. But it is the character of Ada Vaughan that lingers, her resolve, her passion and her flaws’ Cecilia Ekback

`A book not to be missed’ Shropshire Star
