The hilarious romantic comedy from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR Sophie Kinsella
My name is Samantha. I am twenty-nine years old. I have never baked a loaf of bread in my life. I don't know how to unfold an ironing board. What I do know is how to construct a contract exploiting European corporate tax harmonisation and save my client e3 million.
Samantha is a high-powered lawyer in London who thrives under pressure. She works all hours, has no home life, and only cares about becoming the youngest partner ever at her law firm. Eating, sleeping, seeing friends - even taking a breath - will have to wait.
Until one day ... she makes a mistake. A fifty-million-pound, career-destroying mistake.
Having a meltdown, Samantha walks right out of her office and gets on the first train she sees, and finds herself in the countryside, outside a beautiful grand house. Mistaken for another woman, she finds herself becoming the family's new housekeeper. They have no idea they've hired a Cambridge educated lawyer with an IQ of 158 who doesn't know how to work a washing machine, let alone an oven.
Gradually Samantha starts to learn. She learns how to bake bread, she learns how to slow down, falling in love with her new reality in a wholly unexpected way. Then her old life threatens to catch up with her, but will she want it back?
