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? Review: Enchanting, fun, ridiculous, beautiful... - I have a soft spot for Sophie Kinsella her writing is so easy and she always makes me laugh. I confess I read this back in September 2013 - as per my verified purchase! However the review has been sitting in my drafts for such a long time I thought I best re-read it again. Well it is just as enchanting, fun, ridiculous, beautiful as it was the first time. The story goes an up and coming attorney finds herself suddenly out of a job, she has a meltdown and then finds another job... as a housekeeper. Never mind that she is totally clueless as to any kind of domestic engineering. But how hard could this be right? This book frequently reads like episodes of an old sitcom with masses of slap stick comedy through out. Our undomesticated Goddess - Samantha, was easy to identify with and root for. The story line was fast paced without being frantic or hard to connect with emotionally. And the supporting characters played their respective roles well as Samantha moves from ambitious attorney to harried housekeeper. There is necessary romance and some soul searching as Samantha finds her footing in the the work-a-day world. If you're looking for a light, feel-good chick-lit - this fills the bill very nicely. I am a verified purchaser in Australia Review: Funny and interesting 'beach book' - Stressed out lawyer Samantha Sweeting can't even take time away from her cell phone and blackberry to enjoy the spa gift certificate she received from her best friend for her birthday last year. Samantha comes from a family of high achievers. She is relieved to find that her work meeting is going to let out at a reasonable time, allowing her to actually meet up with her mother and brother for her birthday dinner at a fancy restaurant, only to find once she is already seated that both her mother and brother are caught up at their own stressful jobs and can not make it. There is a second brother who can not make it because he has had a nervous breakdown. Samantha spends a lot of time convincing herself that the stress in her job is 'just a blip.' She is up for partner. In fact, she is just about to hear whether she makes partner when something happens that causes her to get on the first train she sees, and knock on the first door she sees when she gets off the train. Miscommunications and hilarity ensue. Reasons I gave 4 stars: The book is funny and interesting. The characters were likable. I've actually read it more than once :) As far as what I categorize as a 'beach book' goes, it was better written than many. Reasons I did not give 5 stars: There was a section toward the end where it felt like it just kept going on longer than it needed to. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #313,295 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #521 in Humorous Fiction #7,019 in Contemporary Women Fiction #12,471 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 10,181 Reviews | ## Images ![The Undomestic Goddess: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uCTNPs+ML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enchanting, fun, ridiculous, beautiful... *by N***G on December 28, 2018* I have a soft spot for Sophie Kinsella her writing is so easy and she always makes me laugh.
