Rosalie Ham

    13. január 1955

    Rosalie Hamová sa vo svojej tvorbe často zameriava na komplexnú povahu ľudskej identity a hľadanie zmyslu v každodennom živote. Jej próza je prenikavá a s citom zachytáva vnútorné svety postáv, ktoré sa potýkajú s morálnymi dilemami a spoločenskými očakávaniami. Autorka jemne prepája humor s vážnosťou, čím vytvára diela, ktoré sú súčasne dojímavé aj provokatívne. Hamová skúma témy domova, komunity a osobného rastu s jedinečným štýlom a hlbokým porozumením ľudskej psychike.

      A darkly satirical novel of love, revenge, and 1950s haute couture soon to be a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet and Liam Hemsworth 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."
