Synopsis
The story of a girl who needs to slow down. To find herself. To fall in 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?

I LOVE THIS BOOK
Absolutley brilliant book. As soon as you read the first page you are hooked, and will find it hard to put the book down. Its a must read!

Laugh out Loud
I'd never read what I'd class as a "chick lit" book before but fancied something a little light hearted to read on the beach. The Undomestic Goddess made me literally laugh out loud and I read it in the space of one day....it's a real page turner. It's a very easy and highly entertaining read and by the end I wanted to quit my own job and run away to a simpler life. I've recommended it to a few girls and they've all loved it!

I Loved It!!
I read this book in a day, I just couldn't put it down. I smiled, I laughed out loud, I cried! I've read Sophie Kinsella before but this is definately one of the best. I loved every page.
