The Undomestic Goddess

by Sophie Kinsella
Read by: Katherine Kellgren

Random House Audio Publishing Group | May 2, 2006 | Audio Book (CD)

Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She's made a mistake so huge, it'll wreck any chance of a partnership.

Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she's mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they've hired a lawyer-and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can't sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope-and finds love-is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.

But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?

    Pretty Good

    I really liked Undomestic Goddess, up until three quarters of the way in. I thought it was very entertaining, but towards the end it started to drag. I feel as though the book ended about four times.

    The ending aside, I really enjoyed this book. I recommend it if you're looking for a nice distraction.

    I found this book to be a wonderful no brainer book to read. I really enjoyed the main character of this book! I can't wait to read the next one.

"A lovely romantic comedy."-Washington Post
