An enchanting and heart-warming story of a Parisian housemaid who transforms the lives of the people around her. Deep in the heart of Paris, in the elegant Sixteenth Arrondissement, at the top of the smart apartment building at Number 34bis Avenue Victor-Hugo, on the sixth floor at the end of a long landing, there is a housemaid's simple room. This is Fatima Monsour's new home. She has left her home on a beautiful Tunisian island to work for the exacting Countess Poulais du Roc. Irresistibly touching and witty, this story of love, loneliness and determination is alive with the sights, sounds and tastes of Paris.
