Cluny Brown

Cluny Brown's greatest failing, in the eyes of her family, is that she "doesn't know her place". Ever-curious and completely un-snubbable, Cluny attempts a career as a housemaid at a country estate, where she encounters the local aristocracy and Polish writer Belinski, in hiding from the secret police. (Or is he?) ( )

You'd have a heart of stone to not fall in love with Cluny Brown! Margery Sharp's heroine is young, headstrong, and her evolution from plumber's niece to ----- (I won't divulge!) is unpredictable, but believable. Made into an excellent movie. DO track it down in either or both formats. ( )
