Harriet’s life is changing and she doesn’t like it, especially when it comes in the form of a loud-mouthed mockney, cockney soap star....
Other people see Harriet as an old-fashioned, over-the-top perfectionist but as far as Harriet is concerned she’s polite, efficient and straight talking. She’s fully aware that her way of doing things may not be the only way but it is, she thinks, the correct way.
After losing her job at the hotel where she’s spent her entire working life, she is surprised to be offered a position as housekeeper at a successful actor’s home. Putting aside her misgivings and realising that she needs to move on and step outside of her comfort zone, she forces herself to accept the job.
Her new boss, ‘Big’ Frankie Fellows, may be the nation’s favourite soap hunk and all round 'diamond geezer' but Harriet finds him loud, common and uncouth. Frankie doesn’t understand the concept of personal space or embarrassment and is everything that Harriet isn’t.
Learning that life doesn’t always play by her rules, Harriet starts to question her own outlook on life.
How can Frankie be so annoying yet so attractive and disconcerting?
Is the Harriet way no longer the only way?
Genre: General Fiction
