The Dress Lodger

The Dress Lodger is a captivating historical thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Set in Sunderland, England during the cholera epidemic of 1831, this book follows the story of Gustine, a determined fifteen-year-old beauty who rents her body to feed her only love - a fragile baby boy.

When she meets surgeon Henry Chiver, who has been implicated in the Burke and Hare killings, Gustine begins working for him by securing cadavers for his ill-equipped anatomy school.

But as she delves deeper into her new role, she realizes that her actions may threaten the very things she's working so hard to protect.

With prose that's "limber and vivid" (The New York Times Book Review), this book is a "dazzling narrative that pulses with irony, ribald humor, and heartbreaking tragedy" (People).
