**NOW AN OSCAR-NOMINATED MOTION PICTURE**
A USA TODAY Bestseller
**
The delightful, uplifting story of Mrs. Harris, an ordinary woman whose
life is transformed by one beautiful dress-now a motion picture starring
Lesley Manville and Isabelle Huppert-and its sequel, set in New York.**
Mrs. Harris is a salt-of-the-earth London charlady who cheerfully cleans
the houses of the rich. One day, while tidying Lady Dant's wardrobe, she
comes across the most beautiful thing she has ever seen in her life-a
Dior dress. In all the years of her drab and humble existence, she's
never seen anything as magical as the dress before her and she's never
wanted anything so badly. Determined to make her dream come true, Mrs.
Harris scrimps and saves 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.
This treasure from the 1950s reintroduces the irrepressible Mrs. Harris,
part charlady, part fairy godmother, whose adventures take her from her
humble London roots to the heights of glamour.
