The Dressmaker of Dachau Summary

The Dressmaker of Dachau by Mary Chamberlain

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

Spring 1939. Taken prisoner by the Nazis, eighteen-year-old Ada is forced into a life of slavery and horror in Dachau concentration camp. Her skill as a seamstress is the only bargaining chip she has against the brutal SS guards. Back in London, she dreamed of being a world-renowned designer; now she must sew to save her life...but at what cost?

For readers of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ and THE LIBRARIAN OF AUSCHWITZ, this is a powerful and moving story of courage and resilience, betrayal and passion.

The Dressmaker of Dachau Reviews

'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
