Mrs. Harris is an elderly domestic helper who works with

different employers in London. She has a dream – a

dream of owning a Christian Dior evening gown. She

works really hard and saves up money for years. She

eventually can fly to Paris to get herself a Christian Dior

evening gown. With the help of a French marquis, she

chooses the right gown for herself. Is Mrs. Harris really

happy after owning a Christian Dior evening gown?

What does the author want to tell his readers from Mrs.

Harris’ encounter? The book is light-hearted,

heartwarming and cynical. It depicts the importance of

pursuing your own dreams, honesty, friendship and hope.
