       Praise for The Dressmaker of Dachau:

      ‘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’

      Julie 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’

      Cecelia Ekbäck
