Description

This week we’re talking to the author of the newly-minted The Sisterhood, Daisy Buchanan, about Sophie Kinsella’s The Undomestic Goddess! Workaholic Samantha Sweeting is a brilliant contract lawyer working for the highly pressurised firm Carter Spink. When she accidentally loses millions of pounds in a stupid admin error, she escapes by boarding a train from London and arriving at a house in the Cotswolds, and is mistaken for the new housekeeper by the super bougie and nouveau riche Trish Geiger and her husband. She decides to lay low and take the job, despite the fact that she doesn’t even know how to work a washing machine. This hilariously relevant book examines work addiction, competitive work atmospheres, being bullied by your boss, and being in the eye of a storm of a public scandal.Music by Harry Harris, artwork by Gavin Day. Recorded at Acast and produced by Hannah Varrall.

Sick of feeling guilty about the books you should be reading, but aren’t? Annoyed that the books you read don’t seem to “count” as literature? Join author and journalist Caroline O’Donoghue as she discovers the chick-lit classics her guests were raised on, from schmaltzy romances to family comedies to bodice-ripping dramas. We talk to authors, fans and cultural critics about what makes chick-lit tick, and investigate why it’s so often overlooked.
