The Undomestic Goddess - Sophie Kinsella ... love. And to discover what an iron is for...Samantha is a high-powered lawyer in London. She works all hours, has no home life, and cares only about getting a partnership. She thrives on the pressure and adrenalin. Until one day...she makes a mistake. A mistake so huge, it'll wreck her career. She walks right out of the office, gets on the first train she sees, and finds herself in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she is mistaken for the interviewee housekeeper and finds herself being offered the job. They have no idea they've hired a Cambridge-educated lawyer with an IQ of 158 - Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. Disaster ensues. It's chaos as Samantha battles with the washing machine...the ironing board...and attempts to cook a cordon bleu dinner. But gradually, she falls in love with her new life in a wholly unexpected way. Will her employers ever discover the truth? Will Samantha's old life ever catch up with her? And if it does...will she want it back?

 ... makes a really bad mistake at work, panics, runs away, and accidentally ends up working as a homehelp despite knowing nothing about housework or cooking! As someone who can be a bit workaholic-y herself, I loved this, even though there were places where I found myself squirming, seeing myself TOO much in the story. The characters are likable and easy to empathose this, and it's easy to race through the whole book in one sitting. I found this a little meatier than the Shopholic series - while it's still undoubtably fluff,...more

Premium Review The Undomestic Goddess - Sophie Kinsella: A gourmey lawyer (841 words)

It's rare that I find an author that I HAVE to read, but Sophie Kinsella has always been a favourite of mine. To date she has written six books under her own name, and a number of others under a pseudonym. The Undomestic Goddess is about a high flying lawyer called Samantha. She is 29 years old, living alone, working eighteen hour days and even going into the office at the weekend because she really doesn't have any life. Samantha is the typical spinster stereotype who would rather choose her career over a personal life, or even happiness. Coming from a family of lawyers, she really hasn't had much choice but to end up in the career path she ...

Introduction ************** One of my favourite authors at the moment is Sophie Kinsella. She lives in London and before she became a celebrated writer she worked as a financial journalist. Her background came in very handy when she wrote her shopaholic novels in which the main character is in fact a financial journalist. However she could also to some extent make use of her background when she wrote “The Undomestic Goddess”. Plot ************** The main character in “The Undomestic Goddess” is Samantha. She works as a lawyer and is about to be made partner when one day she discovers that she has made a mistake. A mistake that will cost a ...

The Story The novel is about a young lawyer called Samantha whose main aim in life is to achieve partnership in her firm. She lives and breathes work, partly because it's what she thrives on but also because there is no time for anything else. She goes to work early and gets home late. Her flat is just a place to eat her takeaway meals and catch a few hours sleep before returning to work again. On the day when she is due to hear about making partnership she discovers she has made a big mistake that she can't change and which is going to cost the firm a massive amount of money. Deciding that her career is over she jumps on a train not knowing where it is going ...
