A woman in charge; Author Sophie Kinsella
So I’m in the library with my 6 year old and looking for an audio book. We love going to library, she gets 5-6 books and I get 1-2. But that month I decide to get an audio book. After reading medical books and biographies all the time I’m looking for a change.
I look at about 10 books and read the back side of them I can’t decide; just then my daughter hands me this cd box that reads “The Undomestic Goddess”
I decide to give it a chance after reading the back of the box;
“The story of a girl who needs to slow down. To find herself. To fall in love. And to discover what an iron is for…
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 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 – Samantha has no idea how to work the oven.
Disaster ensues. It’s chaos as Samantha battles with the washing machine…the ironing board…and attempts to cook a cordon bleu dinner. But gradually, she falls in love with her new life in a wholly unexpected way.
Will her employers ever discover the truth? Will Samantha’s old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?”
The first bits of the cd is different than what I’d expected but after 30 minutes or so I’m completely hooked. Infact after a while it’s hilarious and I can’t stop even when I have to stop.
It’s red by Rosalyn Landor and she’s a big factor that I love it so much. After I finish it I go back to the library to get the other audiobooks by Sophie 
Kinsella. Twenties Girl (the latest book), Confessions of a shopaholic and then it’s over. The library doesn’t have any other audiobooks and I go back to the rows to see what they have there;
Shopaholic takes Manhattan
Shopaholic ties the knot
Shopaholic and sister
Shopaholic and baby
Infact I read the “Shopaholic ties the knot, shopaholic and sister and shopaholic and baby” in 1 week.
Sophie Kinsella is now officially my favorite author. She has this great imagination that hooks you rightaway to any book she’s written.
Born in 1969, real name is Madeleine Wickham writes her books under the name of Sophie Kinsella. She lives in England with her husband and 4 children.
She is best known for writing the Shopaholic novels series of chick lit novels, which focus on the misadventures of Becky Bloomwood, a financial journalist who cannot manage her own finances. The series focuses on her obsession with shopping and its resulting complications for her life.
The first two Shopaholic books were adapted into a film and released in February 2009, with Isla Fisher playing Becky and Hugh Dancy as Luke Brandon.
Her latest novel under the name Sophie Kinsella, Twenties Girl, was released in the UK in July 2009. She also has another addition to the Shopaholic series, Mini Shopaholic, which is out September 2010.
You can never have too many shoes.
