‘The Dressmaker of Dachau is a thrilling story, brilliantly told. I
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
