The Undomestic Goddess

By: Sophie Kinsella

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor

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?

Hilarious!

I listened to this on my way back and forth to work and home, and it sure did help pass the time in many long and hectic commutes! Very funny and entertaining! highly recommended!

Pretty good!

I am a huge "Can You Keep a Secret" fan and can say this one wasn't as good but definitely better than the Shopaholic series... I thought Shopaholic's Becky was really dumb and annoying, Undomestic's Samantha is very intelligent and I can identify more with her when she talks about her stressful career; also, this book is not as redundant as Shopaholic...
the speaker is very easy and pleasant to listen to, not too fast nor too slow... I'd definitely advise you to get it if you are into Kinsella and that sort of cutsy girly genre...

Excellent!

What made the experience of listening to The Undomestic Goddess the most enjoyable?

I loved all of the voices. There are many characters in this story and the narrator changed her voice for all of them and I was able to tell the who it was! She did an excellent job!

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voices were so good! I laughed out loud many times!

Who was the most memorable character of The Undomestic Goddess and why?

Trish was my favorite character.

Any additional comments?

Overall great story!
