The Undomestic Goddess

Since I posted my thoughts about Blame it on Cupid, several blog readers (and you know who you are!) have commented or dropped an email asking What are you reading now? And are you going to tell us what you think about it? Since I love books--reading them, talking about them, holding them, everything about books makes me happy!--I will share regularly a fast book review. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. And, too, I hope you perhaps pick up and read some of the books I discuss.

I've just finished The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. It's no mystery why this woman is a New York Times bestselling author. She writes with flair and humor, drawing the reader into her stories on the first page.

The Undomestic Goddess is a modern-day Cinderella tale, complete with stress, confusion, Blackberry's, mobile phones and the occasional household appliance thrown in for good measure! Samantha, a lawyer who runs into a bit of trouble at the law firm, manages to inadvertantly secure a position as a housekeeper. The trouble, or at least one of the troubles, is that she doesn't know one end of a vacuum cleaner from another!

This is a thoroughly enjoyable read, filled with fun and romance but it's also a story of one woman's journey to a more peaceful existence. If you like to smile while you read, pick up The Undomestic Goddess. You won't be sorry. I wasn't. :)
