Home Work is the second instalment of Julie Andrews' memoirs, beginning with her arrival in Hollywood to make her screen debut in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins, followed closely by The Second of Music. The result is an astonishing rise to fame as those now-classic films brought Julie almost overnight success. It was the beginning of a career that would make her an icon to millions the world over.

With her trademark charm and candour, Julie reveals behind-the-scenes details and reflections on her impressive body of work - from the incredible highs to the challenging laws. Not only does she share her professional experiences and collaborations with giants of cinema and television; she also unveils her personal story of adjusting to a new and often daunting world, dealing with unimaginable public scrutiny, being a new mother, moving on from her first marriage, embracing two stepchildren, adopting two more children, and falling in love with with the brilliant and mercurial Blake Edwards. The pair worked together in numerous films, including 10, S.O.B. and Victor/Victoria, the gender-bending comedy that garnered multiple Oscar nominations.

In her first memoir, Home - an international bestseller - Julie recounted her difficult childhood and her emergence as an acclaimed singer and performer on the stage. In Home Work, she takes us on a rare and intimate journey into the next chapter of her remarkable life that is funny, heart-rending and inspiring.
