THE UNDOMESTIC GODDESS

In the wake of a major financial error, corporate lawyer Samantha Sweeting wanders out of her London office in a daze and boards a train that takes her to the rural town of Lower Ebry. There, barely knowing how to boil water, let alone clean, she finds herself mistakenly hired as a housekeeper and befriended by Nathaniel the Gardener. Rosalyn Landor's narration takes in the sweep of middle-class British accents, ably conveying a workaholic's stress and her subsequent discovery of relaxation and. . .Nathaniel. Throughout it all, Landor's rough-and-ready voice brings life to this wonderful addition to chick lit. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
