The Undomestic Goddess is Sophie Kinsella's fifth "stand-alone" novel, first published in the UK by Bantam Press in July 2005, and later in the US by Dial Press Trade Paperback in April 2006.
Plot
[edit]Samantha Sweeting is a workaholic lawyer. After a mental breakdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train at Paddington station, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Sweeting knocks on the doors of a well-kept manor where she is mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as a housekeeper. The employers are unaware of her true identity. Severely ill-equipped, Sweeting realises she has no relevant experience and is wholly unsuited to the role. She manages to cope, learns housekeeper skills and eventually finds love.[1]
