Cookson, Catherine
The golden straw / Catherine Cookson. -- Londres : Bantam, 1993

It all began with a straw hat. A large, broad-brimmed hat, dyed in an elusive mixture of colours to produce a distictive shade of pale gold, it was presented to Emily Pearson by her long-time friend and employer Mabel Arkwright, milliner and modiste, whose estabishment under the name of The Bandbox was situated in a discreet corner of the West End of London. And it was to her employer that Emily owed not only the gift of the Golden Straw, as it had been named, but eventually the business itself, for her friend had more and more come to rely upon her as time went by.
