And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it."

Publisher's Summary
In this New York Times best-selling follow-up to her critically acclaimed memoir, Home, Julie Andrews reflects on her astonishing career, including such classics as Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and Victor/Victoria.
In Home, the number-one New York Times international best seller, Julie Andrews recounted her difficult childhood and her emergence as an acclaimed singer and performer on the stage.
With this second memoir, Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years, Andrews picks up the story with her arrival in Hollywood and her phenomenal rise to fame in her earliest films - Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Andrews describes her years in the film industry - from the incredible highs to the challenging lows. Not only does she discuss her work in now-classic films and her collaborations with giants of cinema and television, she also unveils her personal story of adjusting to a new and often daunting world, dealing with the demands of unimaginable success, being a new mother, the end of her first marriage, embracing two stepchildren, adopting two more children, and falling in love with the brilliant and mercurial Blake Edwards. The pair worked together in numerous films, including Victor/Victoria, the gender-bending comedy that garnered multiple Oscar nominations.
Cowritten with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, and told with Andrews's trademark charm and candor, Home Work takes us on a rare and intimate journey into an extraordinary life that is funny, heartrending, and inspiring.
What the critics say
"Julie Andrews, along with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, have put together an elegant memoir of Andrews's Hollywood years.... Delivering many of her insightful diary entries, Andrews sounds sincerely amazed and delighted.... Andrews acknowledges her gifts, but she attributes much of her success to luck. We're the lucky ones - to have Andrews and this audio gem." (AudioFile Magazine)
"[Home Work gives] readers long-awaited details about [Julie Andrew's] earliest films like Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.... Andrews continues to approach life - and writing - with strength and grace." (People)

Julia Andrews is a favourite, and it was wonderful to hear her own voice narrating her own story. It gave much more meaning to the book. Thoroughly enjoyed having a glimpse into the behind the scenes of all that she accomplished.

Impossible to criticize such a tremendous woman, yet…
Julie Andrew’s has shown tremendous love, supported an incredibly large number of people, and continually juggled residency requirements of two countries. As well, she managed to give great joy throughout the world. She rose above her upbringing and her life is an epiphany to hard work and love.
So why am I a little disappointed by this book? I struggled to get into it, feeling that I was listening to lists—she did this, who did that, what happened. My engagement happened about the halfway through point and then it was clear sailing to the end and I greatly appreciated the book. I had another problem. There is a big difference between a written cadence, that is, words written to be read, and an oral one, that to be listened to. Sometimes Julie’s reading became wooden because of this and I thought dragged the quality of the book slightly down.
All that being said, this is an enthralling book written by a marvellous lady. I am very grateful for the joy she has given me throughout the years.
