Description

Mary Newton's life was never ordinary. Growing up in a small Watford semi with her large Irish family, she was always getting into trouble - whether it was choking back giggles at Holy Communion or eating Chappie dog food for a bet. But despite the challenges of poverty and limited resources, Mary found solace in the glamour of Harrods window dressing.

When tragedy unexpectedly blows her world apart, Mary is forced to navigate a new chapter in her life. With determination and a keen eye for design, she rises to become one of Britain's most iconic retail figures - known as the "Queen of Shops".

This memoir offers a fascinating glimpse into Mary Newton's journey from humble beginnings to international success, revealing the highs and lows of her remarkable career.
