THE UNDOMESTIC GODDESS by Sophie Kinsella 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?
Most of our group liked this book. It is a light, easy-to-read story. The characters are believable. Plot is somewhat predictable, but there are some surprises. We had good discussions on several topics including families, lawyers’ work hours, and the life style / happiness of the newly rich. Enjoyed this book.
