"The Dressmaker" is historical fiction, taking place in the mid 19th century. It is the story of Ellen Gowan and her journey from beloved daughter of a poor country cleric to famous and well-off London dressmaker. There's lots of good stuff in between. I found it entertaining and heart-warming--it had a happy ending and I am always a sucker for a happy ending. There was nothing original about this story, but it was full of great historical details and interesting characters. And a married sex scene that I didn't find offensive. No bad language either, I'm happy to say. It was a very entertaining book, an easy read, a nice story. It wasn't particularly memorable, but I certainly enjoyed it.
