Mrs. 'Arris Goes To Parliament by Paul Gallico

2.0

I wanted a bit more light-heartedness out of this, and I didn't get it. Poor Mrs. Harris gets hustled through the political system to her eventual chagrin. At first, I thought it might be a variation on "The Mouse That Roared" kind of plot--you know, the underdog turns out to be a world conqueror--but nope. The satire in it is fine, I suppose, but the fact that Mrs. Harris DOESN'T have even fleeting success in her endeavors feels too unfair. Of course, it's reality. But in the previous books, Mrs. Harris's adventures have ended on more positive notes. So that's what I expected.
