Plot

Part of The Bloomsbury Group, books chosen by readers for readers Mrs Harris is a salt-of-the-earth London charlady with just one wish - to own a Dior dress. In all her years cleaning other people's houses she's never seen anything as beautiful or magical as the couture dresses hanging in Lady Dant's wardrobe and she's never wanted anything as much before. Determined to make her dream come true, Mrs Harris scrimps, saves and slaves away until one day, after three long, uncomplaining years, she finally has enough money to go to Paris. When she arrives at the House of Dior, Mrs Harris has little idea of how her life is about to be turned upside down and how many other lives she will transform forever. Always kind, always cheery and always winsome, the indomitable Mrs Harris takes Paris by storm and learns one of life's greatest lessons along the way.
