Product Information
Chosen by Elaine Simpson-Long of Random Jottings
Mrs Harris is a char lady, one of those indomitable women who go out and 'do' for an assortment of clients. She is unfailingly plucky and cheerful, used to hard work and getting on with things, a down to earth woman who doesn't complain and doesn't grumble, an ordinary person contented with her lot until one day when she is at one of her clients, Lady Dant, she comes across a Dior dress. Mrs Harris has a small win on the pools and taking this as a sign that she is meant to have a dress by Dior she scrimps and slaves away until one day she finally has enough money to go to Paris. Off she goes, little knowing that her life and the lives of those she comes into contact with will never be the same again. Impossible to convey in a review is the sheer delight in Mrs Harris and how she transforms the lives of these people who become her friends. Impossible to describe what a treasure she is, how true and good she is, how determined to realise her dream. You will have to read the book and I do please urge you to do so and enjoy as much as I have done. I simply adored this book and am not ashamed to say I had a tear or two in my eye at the end as well as Mrs Harris.
