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" --Provided by publisher 650 0 Large type books 650 0 Fashion designers|vFiction 650 0 Man-woman relationships|vFiction 650 7 Modedesigner|2sao 650 7 Modedesign|2sao 653 Storstil 655 7 Romaner|2saogf 655 7 Skönlitteratur|2saogf 907 00 170112
