Synopsis "La Modista (in Spanish)"

El libro en el que se basa la película de amor y venganza.Una novela deliciosa sobre una joven moderna, formada en Europa, que regresa a la pequeña localidad de la Australia rural en la que se crio, un lugar en el que uno difícilmente puede deshacerse de los estigmas y el peso del pasado.En los años cincuenta, tras pasar parte de su vida como modista de alta costura a lo largo y ancho de Europa, Tilly regresa a Dungatar, la pequeña localidad australiana donde pasó su infancia. Llega convertida en una hermosa y glamurosa muchacha que contrasta con la grisura de los vecinos del pueblo, basta verla caminar con su maleta a cuestas para darse cuenta de que la vida puede ser menos aburrida si los pliegues de una falda están bien colocados. Tilly ha vuelto para cuidar de su madre, con la intención de volverse a marchar cuanto antes, pero su regreso despierta cierto alboroto entre los habitantes del lugar. La gente murmura a su alrededor, recordando un hecho trágico ligado a su infancia. La muchacha no claudica: con la ayuda de su máquina de coser y mucha imaginación conseguirá que el pueblo entero respire un aire nuevo y por las calles desfilen vestidos nunca vistos. Lo que nadie sospecha es que con tanta tela y unas buenas agujas, Tilly va a coser su propia venganza... Reseñas: «Rosalie Ham tiene un don innato para dar color y textura a sus imágenes... La moda de los años cincuenta recibe su justo homenaje en La modista.»The New York Times Book Review English Description:Now a major motion picture featuring Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth and Judy Davis.A darkly satirical novel of love, revenge, and 1950s haute couture—now a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth, and Hugo WeavingAfter 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.
