'The Dressmaker's Daughter is a candid and exquisitely crafted account of Kate Llewellyn's life, from her earliest days on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia through to her nursing training, her marriage, life in bohemian Adelaide in the '60s and '70s, her time as an art-gallery owner, and the beginning of her journey as a writer.' (Publisher's blurb)
