Resumen del Editor

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?

Praise for The Undomestic Goddess

"Light and breezy... Samantha is eminently likable, and overworked readers will empathize with her glee at her first full weekend off in years." (Christian Science Monitor)

"Sophie Kinsella is at the top of the chick lit game. Her plots are fast-paced and entertaining, with the perfect amount of realistic neurosis to accompany her quirky heroines." (New York Post)

Loved this book!

Light hearted and fun. Sophie Kinsella's books always seem to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for writing books so I can escape reality even for a short time. :)

I LOVED IT

It made me laugh and cry.... a great escape from every day life :-)

A wild ride!

I absolutely adore Sophie Kinsella and this one of hers was a riot! The story was not at all believable, but oh so much fun and really different. It was purely silly and zany, and it made me so uncomfortable all at the same time. I thought the narrator was a teeny bit "off" on some of the male character's voices, but I got used to it.

Cute Story

The story is cute, but the narrator's voice is screechy. I can only listen for short bits and then I have to turn her off. :(

Fun!

I listened to this book years ago and needed something light-hearted and fun. This is it! I just love the characters and the part when she meets the family she'll work for. I was snorting with laughter all over again.

Undomestic Goddess Is A Hoot

This book is a hoot! The plot is far-fetched, and yet I can see so much of myself in Samantha Sweeting. Sophie Kinsella came into my life when I truly needed to laugh. Once again, she has perfectly met my need. I highly recommend any of Kinsella's books for those of you needing a break from the serious, real world.

Funny and cute

This book was so funny and cute. I listened to it every chance I got.

I loved it!

This was such an enjoyable story, exactly the stress reliever I was looking for. I love Sophie Kinsella's books, and I really enjoyed the narration. Definitely recommend.

Chick lit at its best

I have no patience with Kinsella's shopping books, but this saga reassured me that I do have a sense of humor, especially with a well-painted heroine, tight story and intriguing tale. It's a perfect vacation listen when the sun is too bright to read or you're on the couch with the flu. AND it has a happy ending -- which sometimes I yearn for!

very enjoyable!

Loved it! Would definitely recommend it to my friends and family! Can't wait to read our next book.
