Plot

Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable: she’s made a mistake. 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.[1]

Film adaptation

Universal is adapting the book and has just signed a director, Andy Fickman to the project. He was the director of The Game Plan, Race to Witch Mountain, She's the Man and You Again, amongst others.

Aline Brosh McKenna has written the script for the film.[2]
