The Undomestic Goddess


Today I want to tell you something about my favourite english book. It's a number one Bestseller in the world, called 'The Undomestic Goddess' of Sophie Kinsella. Sophie Kinsella is a writer and former financial journalist. Famous books of her are 'keep a secret?' and 'Remember me?'. Together with her husband and children she lives in the middle of London.
( Her official website: www.sophiekinsella.co.uk )
The book talks about Samantha a workaholic. She needs to slow down to fall in love in the middle of nowhere.

Samantha is a lawyer in London. Actually she don't know the word home and relaxing, the only thing she does is the whole time working in her little office in London city. Career is important to her, until one day she makes a big mistake, which change her thinking. After the mistake she takes any train and find herself in the middle of nowhere. She stops at an old, beautiful house where she wants to ask for direction. “She is mistaken for the interviewee housekeeper and finds herself being offered the job”, but actually she has no idea , how to handle an ironing board or how a wash machine works.

Does she fall in love with her new life? and Will her new employers find out about her past?

I really do enjoy reading the book. There is a lot of ironic in the book and it's good written. If anyone wants to read it, I can give you my one for a certain time.

  2. Sounds like a book for women - sorry ;-)
    Question: why's she called a goddess? Or is it someone else?

    Nicely summed up :-)
