The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
Samantha Sweeting is a high powered lawyer, or at least she was until she seemingly made an error which cost her law firm millions of dollars. In shock Samantha takes off-and finds herself in a far off village where she is a total stranger. She decides to use the opportunity to reinvent herself and start over fresh.
The Undomestic Goddess is a lot of fun to read. In the past I have found Sophie Kinsella’s books to be a bit irritating but this book seemed a little more balanced and it’s characters were just a tad more believable. I think it would be nice to see some sequels to this book, rather than Kinsella focus her attention so much on the Shopaholic series…which, while entertaining, seems to have run it’s course.
I read the Shopaholic books and found them quite funny at the time, wouldn’t read one twice, once is enough and the idea was cute, but I understand how they can become irritating after awhile. Never read Undomestic Goddess but maybe I’ll look into it. I think it was on sale last time I was at the bookstore.
