'Funny, fast and farcical. I loved it' JOJO MOYES

The hilarious romantic comedy from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR Sophie Kinsella

Samantha thrives under pressure. A high-powered London lawyer, all she can concentrate on is taking the next step in her career; eating, sleeping, seeing friends – even taking a breath – will have to wait.

But just when she’s about to get everything she has ever wanted, Samantha makes a mistake. A fifty-million-pound, career-destroying mistake. Unable to face the consequences, she does the unimaginable and runs away...

Catching the first train she can, she finds herself in the countryside, outside a beautiful grand house. Mistaken for another woman, she falls into a new job as the family’s housekeeper.

Disaster ensues. In a blink, her life has shifted from writing briefs to washing them – and she has no idea how to work the washing machine. Let alone the oven. A former master of the takeaway menu, she’s now expected to whip up fine cuisine.

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?

Ratings and reviews

Again, another fab book I have read so many books by this smart ,witty 1st class author. Look forward to this becoming a film . 📚 📖 👌

You get really pulled into the story and its hard to let go. You want to yell at her "tell them you're a lawyer!" Really good. Highly recommend

Another very lovable read! Sophie Kinsella is the very best for books that you just can't put down. Addictive, delicious page turners. I always feel content & comforted by her books...like I am treating myself. To a relaxed time of savoring a long, interesting read. The best! I'm off to find another one of her books & start again! Thank you Sophie.
