"The Dressmaker of Winterset is heartfelt and true, a story that goes where The Scarlet Letter couldn't go. It's 1956 Iowa rather than 1642 Boston, but then again, it's every time and every place when society has held women to impossible standards."—Rebecca Makkai, author of Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist The Great Believers

An intriguing homage to The Scarlet Letter, The Dressmaker of Winterset is sure to become a book club favorite.”—Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker and Canary Girls
