The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella  Copyright 2005 ISBN 978-0-440-24238-3

The Undomestic Goddess is a genuinely funny sweet book. Kinsella is a comic whiz who consistently delivers what her readers crave.

Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She’s made a mistake so huge, it’ll wreck any chance of 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 a 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 #ing 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, does she want it back?
