Summary

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 goes into meltdown, 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 - and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven.

The Undomestic Goddess

One of my favourite books, and Phoebe read it perfectly and exactly how I did in my head. Brilliant job.

I absolutely loved this story by Sophie Kinsella

I absolutely loved this story by Sophie Kinsella. You could actually imagine everything happening in the story. I laughed and cringed sometimes at the same time. The voice of the narrator was a bit annoying at first but I got used to her though her American accent wasn't great. Overall I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic!

What a wonderfully written and read story of ambition and love by Sophie Kinsella and Phoebe James, respectively. Sophie’s humour makes you giggle all the way through which was well performed by Phoebe, yet, the content still made you think about the more serious things in life. As you read, Sophie keeps twisting the story and I thoroughly enjoyed the unpredictability of how she would conclude this beautiful story. I highly recommend this book- well done ladies!

Nice story but wrong narrator!

Enjoyed the story, but the narrator was not the right person for this book. would have been rated. higher with the right person to have believably voices for characters..

Ok a bit far fetched

Quite predictable but enjoyable. Not quite as witty as some of Sophie K other books.

SHE DID IT AND GOT WHAT SHE WANTED

Would you consider the audio edition of The Undomestic Goddess to be better than the print version?

YES BUT ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE APROBLEM SITTING STILL

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Undomestic Goddess?

WHEN SAMANTHA SHOVED THEIR 6 FIGURE SALARY IN THEIR FACES TO CARRY ON BEING A HOUSEKEEPER

What about Phoebe James’s performance did you like?

SHE COULD CHANGE HER VOICE SEVERAL TIMES TO BECOME ALL THESE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

DEFINITELY I KEPT COMING HOME AND NOTHING ELSE WAS GETTING DONE BUT LISTENING TO THIS BOOK

Any additional comments?

FANTASTIC BOOK - VERY FUNNY IN VARIOUS PLACES. SHOULD DEFINITELY PERSEVERE WITH THIS BOOK EVEN WHEN IT LAGS IT PLACES.

Charming and witty story, with a feel good factor

Very easy listening, with lots of giggle moments thrown in for good measure and a charming vibe throughout. A little frustrating at times in how the story unfolded, but enjoyed it none-the-less.

Fun fun fun

Would you consider the audio edition of The Undomestic Goddess to be better than the print version?

Prefer the print only because the narrator's voice didn't match the image I had of the girl.

What did you like best about this story?

Full of laugh out loud moments, brill holiday for the mind.

What about Phoebe James’s performance did you like?

Very good performance, just not the voice I imagined her to have.
