About this listen
Mrs Harris is a salt-of-the-earth London charlady who cheerfully cleans the houses of the rich. One day, when 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 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.
©2010 Paul Gallico (P)2022 W F HowesCritic Reviews
"Mrs Harris is one of the great creations of fiction - so real that you feel you know her, yet truly magical as well. I can never have enough of her." (Justine Picardie)
"It is almost impossible not to succumb to Gallico's spell." (Times Literary Supplement)
"Wherever she goes, Mrs Harris seems to sprinkle fairy dust over those she meets. Yet she's very realistically drawn, and the book is fraught with painful setbacks.... In the end, Mrs Harris' yearning for the dress is secondary. The friendships that are made because of her quest are what change her life forever. This book was a delight from start to finish." (Worthwhilebooks.blogspot)

Wasn’t sure I’d like either story, but loved them both! Heart warming, wish I could start over again.

Funny, heartwarming and narrated perfectly!
I loved these two stories, having watched the movie first I noticed the Paris book had a slightly different storyline but nevertheless it was so enjoyable to listen to. New York kept me giggling right through and the narration was delightful!

Wonderful Story
Great characters, interesting storylines. Author shows an understanding of people, places, and the era it was set in, and the narrator brought it all to life.

Enjoyed
I thoroughly enjoyed the books and my only criticism is that I’d have liked Mrs Harris to sound less like an old fish wife.

FEEL GOOD STORY
This is a light, lovely story about how a working class woman can achieve her dreams, in spite of what seems to be insurmountable odds. I found the interpretation of the hackney spoken word grating, however the story overrode my irritation.
A nice gentle read. I enjoyed it all.

A delightful story
One that reminds you of all the good things that genuine care can bring to the world. The narration was fabulous and brought every character into its own.
