About this product

Product Information

In Sunderland, England, a city quarantined by the cholera epidemic of 1831, a defiant, fifteen-teen-year old beauty in an elegant blue dress makes her way between shadow and lamp light. A potter's assistant by day and dress lodger by night, Gustine sells herself for necessity in a rented gown, scrimping to feed and protect her only love: her fragile baby boy. She holds a glimmer of hope after meeting Dr. Henry Chiver, a prisoner of his own dark past. But in a world where suspicion of medicine runs rampant like a fever, these two lost souls will become irrevocably linked, as each crosses lines between rich and destitute, decorum and abandon, damnation and salvation. By turns tender and horrifying, The Dress Lodger is a captivating historical thriller charged with a distinctly modern voice. . . .

  • Creative writing style, but very grim...

    Set in early 1800's Sunderland, England is a story of Gustine, a young teenage prostitute who is forced to wear a blue dress every night. She is the eyes of the city as she comes into contact with many characters. Crossing paths are the good Doctor, and his fiance Audrey. Both are trying to do good in the world, educating and aiding the poor. Although the doctor means well, he also desperately needs fresh corpses for teaching anatomy to his medical students. When Gustine hears of this she tries to help him find what he needs in exchange for curing her infant son who was born with a genetic defect. It is a gritty tale full of medical ignorance and greed. Add a Cholera epidemic to the mix and you have all the makings of a very grim story. It made me think of "The Demon Barber of Fleet ...
