“Ada Harris spends her life as an invisible woman, cleaning the houses and apartments of the upper echelons of society in 1950s London. But when she collects her back-dated war widow’s pension, she has the ultimate treat yourself day and heads to Paris. There, she not only finds the Christian Dior dress of her dreams, but lives a life of luxury, lavishness, and love that she’s always desired.
