About this listen

USA Today Best Seller!

A cursed opal, a gnarled family tree, and a sinister woman in a green dress emerge in the aftermath of World War I.

After a whirlwind romance, London teashop waitress Fleur Richards can’t wait for her new husband, Hugh, to return from the Great War. But when word of his death arrives on Armistice Day, Fleur learns he has left her a sizable family fortune. Refusing to accept the inheritance, she heads to his beloved home country of Australia in search of the relatives who deserve it more.

In spite of her reluctance, she soon finds herself the sole owner of a remote farm and a dilapidated curio shop full of long-forgotten artifacts, remarkable preserved creatures, and a mystery that began more than sixty-five years ago. With the help of Kip, a repatriated soldier dealing with the sobering aftereffects of war, Fleur finds herself unable to resist pulling on the threads of the past. What she finds is a shocking story surrounding an opal and a woman in a green dress...a story that, nevertheless, offers hope and healing for the future.

This romantic mystery from award-winning Australian novelist Tea Cooper will keep readers guessing until the astonishing conclusion.

“Readers of Kate Morton and Beatriz Williams will be dazzled. The Woman in the Green Dress spins readers into an evocative world of mystery and romance in this deeply researched book by Tea Cooper. There is a Dickensian flair to Cooper’s carefully constructed world of lost inheritances and found treasures as two indomitable women stretched across centuries work to reconcile their pasts while reclaiming love, identity and belonging against two richly moving historical settings. As soon as you turn the last page you want to start again just to see how every last thread is sewn in anticipation of its thrilling conclusion. One of the most intelligent, visceral and vibrant historical reads I have had the privilege of visiting in an age.” (Rachel McMillan, author of The London Restoration)

“Refreshing and unique, The Woman in the Green Dress sweeps you across the wild lands of Australia in a thrilling whirl of mystery, romance, and danger. This magical tale weaves together two storylines with a heart-pounding finish that is drop-dead gorgeous.” (J’nell Ciesielski, author of The Socialite)

The way the story was woven together, 60 years apart, was very clever. The ending was quite satisfying too. Well worth the investment.

loved this story. I would love to see this as a movie. I would Definitely watch it.

very good story

The author has some wonderful themes - Australian Aborigines, WW1 and soldier repatriation, opal mining, and just Australian history in general, but disappointingly none of the themes are fully developed.
We the readers are left wanting so much much more than was delivered. I believe I’ll have to listen to a book by Bryce Courtenay now just to get my Australian fix.

Wonderful concept sadly under-developed

I really enjoy reading Tea Cooper’s books. She has the great talent to weave two stories that result in a great read. I’ve learned so much about Australia’s history by reading her books. Two books down and on to her third book and and anticipating the release of her fourth one!

Great story and performance

I really enjoyed this book, but being able to flip back-and-forth in a real paper book, would have been better for me. I always wanted to go back and check what had happened the last time I left the 1800s or the 1900s, and that’s hard to do on an audible book. Great story though. My first with a setting in Australia, and I quite enjoyed seeing it through early settlers eyes.

Reading might be better

I bought this because it was on sale. I thought I would be disappointed, but not at all. I listened to while I was at work. I kept having to rewind because of all the talking around. I think it keeps wanting to listen until the end. Great story.

what a surprise.
