CAUSE CELEB by Helen Fielding

 

By the author of Bridget Jones's Diary.

Disillusioned by her life in London and her desirable but cruel TV-presenter boyfriend, Rosie Richardson chucks it all in and spends four years running a refugee camp in Africa.  Then famine strikes in a nearby province and an influx of starving refugees threatens to overwhelm the camp.  Frustrated by the cautious response of the aid agencies, Rosie decides on a drastic short-term solution. 

She returns to London, breaks back into the celebrity circuit and brings the celebs out to Africa for a star-studded TV emergency appeal.

"A terrific achievement...the camp scenes are as moving and funny as the original MASH; she sends up the self-important 'mediacracy' with an insider's wit, and it's written at a romping pace with a cliff-hanger finish'.  Cosmopolitan.

'A serious story that doesn't take itself too seriously, Helen Fielding's first novel is a wonderful surprise'.  New York Times.

Soft cover, excellent condition.  342 pages, all intact.
