My cover of this heart-warming book is bright pink: it’s joyous, stands out on my bookshelf, and makes me smile. Even better is the inside.
The story is wonderfully uplifting, the writing full of both humor and pathos: a fairy tale written to lift your spirits and revive your belief in humanity.
I re-read this gem of a book after seeing the film. It’s beautifully written, and the concept of not giving up on your dream is an important lesson to us all. It’s only a short book, but I promise it will warm your heart and stay with you…
I love the importance of objects that lies at the very centre of this book.
It is easy to write off the idea of fashion as superficial and unimportant but through the eyes of Mrs Harris and her ambitions to own a Dior dress from Paris, we can appreciate the beauty of a garment, the joy of its construction and the skill of its makers.
When cleaning lady Mrs. Harris sees a Dior dress hanging in the wardrobe of one of her clients, she dares to dream that she might one day own one. The quest takes her to Paris…
