The Undomestic Goddess
13 journalers for this copy...
Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She’s made a mistake so huge, it’ll wreck any chance of a partnership.
Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she’s mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they’ve hired a lawyer–and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can’t sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope–and finds love–is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.
But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?
read by Katherine Kellgren
abridged, 6 1/2 hours
Es ist übrigens nicht zwingend notwendig die Rezensionen auf Englisch zu verfassen. ;-)

Arrived today, thank you!
I don't know, whether reading this book by myself would have been so much fun as listening to it during the rides to work. Katherine Kellgren's reading made me laugh so much and so often. I almost was afraid to get to work or home safely.
I didn't know the auhtor Sophie Kinsella before, but she seems to be a very busy writer. I might like to have a try with some of her other books.
Thank you for the ring and for sending and the many tears of laughter.
I'm going to pass the CD on to sheepseeker as soon as possible.

Journal Entry 6 by Sheepseeker from Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Arrived here yesterday - thanks for sending, lesenmachtfroh!
Eigentlich hat mir das Hörbuch gut gefallen - zumindest alle bis auf die letzte CD. Das Ende war mir dann doch einfach zu simpel gestrickt und zu vorhersehbar. Aber bis dahin war es wirklich eine gute Unterhaltung, die zudem auch noch gut vorgetragen war.
Vielen Dank für den Ring, annette86! Die CD wandert ASAP weiter zu Catbook...

Uh, I didn't mean to take so long for listening to this audiobook – sorry!
So this was one of my rare trips to chicklit. ;-)
About two thirds of it were quite entertaining on my trips to work. The end was not just even more incredible than the rest, but I think it's really reactionary. Eva Herman is sure to love it. Maybe that's what all this chicklit thing is about? Not my cup of tea.
I have asked for Fightclub's address, so Samantha will soon clean a loo in Frankfurt.

So after a long while the undomestic goddess is abel to travel to Switzerland. The journey will start if Eprinzessin send me her adress.
It was interessting and new for me to listen to this kind of audiobooks because I normally prefer thriller or mistery. I think I will not become an adict in this kind of books but it could be nice from time to time.

Die CD ist heute bei mir angekommen. Jetzt werde ich mich mal mit meinem aktuellen Hörbuch ans Bügelbrett schwingen, damit ich dieses bald hören kann.
Vielen Dank fürs Schicken, FightClub. Und natürlich auch für die netten Beigaben. Die werden den Bügelberg heute abend wohl nicht überleben... :-)
24.05.2009: Ich gebe zu, dass ich mich hauptsächlich zu diesem Ring angemeldet habe, weil ich mal schauen wollte, wie gut ich ein englisches Hörbuch verstehe. Und ich bin positiv überrascht, wie gut das geklappt hat. Und ausserdem war die Story herrlich. Hat Spass gemacht zuzuhören.

Kam vor ein paar Tagen an, muss nur noch mein Autoradio einbauen *g*
Hatte es leider schon auf englisch gekauft ... aber erst jetzt entdeckt.
It arrived today. Thank you for sending it!
This was an awesome audiobook! I liked it a lot, since there were so many funny situations. Only at the end the book got a little boring.
Thank you for the ring!

Journal Entry 26 by poppy17 from Angelbachtal, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Saturday, August 8, 2009
Although this is the kind of book I wouldn't like to read, I DID like it as an audiobook especially as it was wonderfully read by whoever it was (I don't remember the name). The story was really funny and other drivres certainly thought that I must be somewhat crazy when they saw me in my car with a big grin on my face.
Thanks a lot for the ring, annette86. I sent the audiobook to Goldoni yesterday, so it should arrive soon.

Das Hörbuch hat eine kleine Sightseeing-Tour durch Deutschland gemacht, weil sie versehentlich in eine Heidelberger Packstation geraten war. Durch einen Anruf bei der Post-Hotline konnte ich den Ausreisser aber wieder zurückholen.
Momentan höre ich noch einen anderen Audioring, aber dann geht's gleich los. Danke fürs Schicken!

Ich habe die CD schon vor einiger Zeit gehört, und sie hat mir wirklich sehr gefallen. Die Geschichte ist äußerst unterhaltsam, und - was für mich sehr wichtig ist - der Text ist sehr gut zu verstehen. Ein großes Lob an die Sprecherin! So macht Englisch-Lernen Spaß.
Trinibell hat mittlerweile das Buch gelesen und wollte übersprungen werden, deshalb ist Samantha Sweeting inzwischen auf dem Heimweg zu annette86. Danke fürs Mithörenlassen!

Das Buch ist schon lange wieder wohlbehalten angekommen.
Geht mit Annette's KUNTERBUNTER-AUDIO-BOX auf Reisen.
Bei mir gelandet... that's great!
