A darkly satirical novel of love, revenge, and 1950s haute couture—now a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth, and Hugo Weaving After twenty years spent mastering the art of dressmaking at couture houses in Paris, Tilly Dunnage returns to the small Australian town she was banished from as a child. She plans only to check on her ailing mother and leave. But Tilly decides to stay, and though she is still an outcast, her lush, exquisite dresses prove irresistible to the prim women of Dungatar. Through her fashion business, her friendship with Sergeant Farrat—the town’s only policeman, who harbors an unusual passion for fabrics—and a budding romance with Teddy, the local football star whose family is almost as reviled as hers, she finds a measure of grudging acceptance. But as her dresses begin to arouse competition and envy in town, causing old resentments to surface, it becomes clear that Tilly’s mind is set on a darker design: exacting revenge on those who wronged her, in the most spectacular fashion.

The story line of this book was intriguing. In the early 1950s, a woman, Myrtle, now known as Tilly, returns to her childhood home in Dungatar, a small hardscrabble town in the Austrailian outback. She had been cast out twenty years earlier at the age of ten, torn from her home and her mother, Molly Dunnage, after being accused unjustly of a heinous act. Tilly unites with her mother, now known as Mad Molly, and takes charge. The intervening years have not been too kind to Molly, but Tilly sets out to right all that has gone wrong.Now a highly accomplished dressmaker, Tilly overcomes the antipathy of the local women, most of whom are almost comically ignorant, small-minded, and nasty, and begins creating beautiful and elegant Balenciaga and Dior inspired dresses for them. Tilly forms a friendship with Sergeant Farrat, the town's sole constable, who harbors his own secrets, and begins a romance with Teddy, her handsome neighbor and the town's star athlete.Still, the initial acceptance of Tilly's haute couture efforts on their behalf, does not change the nature of the townspeople, and the malicious nature of many of them bubbles up and spills over once again onto Tilly and her eccentric mother. Not even Teddy's unconditional love for Tilly can breach that wall of hatred. Then the unthinkable happens, but no matter, as Tilly has plans of her own, as the town will soon discover.This is a dark novel, somewhat satirical in tone, with a penchant for the unlikely. The author sets a somber tone with moments of comic relief. At times, the book is somewhat rambling, and it could have used a defter hand in terms of its editing. It is definitely unsettling in many respects and could definitely have been a contender but for its somewhat poor editing. I recently saw the movie, after I read the book, and this is one of the few times I have ever thought that the movie was better than the book. In fact, the movie was fantastic! It is everything the book could have been. Still, the book is worth a read, and one will derive a modicum of enjoyment from it.
