(1) YA After arriving in Australian beach town Leonora, self-contained, morose Rose is befriended by outgoing Pearl. Pearl tells Rose about the annual harvest festival and urges her to start thinking about a gown. Enter the enigmatic Edie Baker, an old dressmaker. There are many story lines within Foxlee's complex novel; they coalesce into a dreamlike, eerie whole told in mesmerizing, sensuous prose.
