گلهایی برای خانم هریس by پل گالیکو, هوشنگ هوشیدر, Paul Gallico
4.0
This was sweet and light for the most part, an enjoyable short book.
Mrs. Harris is a London cleaning lady who leads a fairly unexceptional life. Until one day, when she sees a Dior dress in a client's closet, and she is gobsmacked. She. Must. Have. A. Dior. Dress. Even if she never wears it, merely to possess such a piece of perfection will, she feels sure, enhance her life immeasurably.
When she finds out how much it will cost, she sets about scrimping, saving, and gambling a little, trying to gather the funds.
Her eventual trip to Paris, her acquaintance with the staff at the House of Dior, and the significant ways in which they all touch each others lives, make for an amusing and sweet novel.
