Flowers for Mrs Harris by Paul Gallico was an absolute gem; a new go-to comfort read!
You start your reading experience a bit confused by its little protagonist (an elderly cockney cleaning lady) and then, before you know it, just like the supporting characters, you fall in love with her endearing and caring ways.
I will say that Gallico pulls a fast one on us at the end that had my suddenly shooting up in my seat with utter distress but ultimately Mrs Harris warms your cockles.
A must read if you need a pick-me-up from what is in essence a gentle hug of a book.
