About this listen
In Home, Julie Andrews recounted her difficult childhood and her emergence as an acclaimed singer and performer on the stage. In her new memoir, Julie picks up the story with her arrival in Hollywood and her astonishing rise to fame as two of her early films - Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music - brought her instant and enormous success, including an Oscar. It was the beginning of a career that would make Julie Andrews an icon to millions the world over.
In Home Work, Julie describes her years in Hollywood - from the incredible highs to the challenging lows. Not only does she detail 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, moving on from 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, culminating in Victor/Victoria, the gender-bending comedy that garnered multiple Oscar nominations.
Told with her trademark charm and candour, Julie Andrews takes us on a rare and intimate journey into an astonishing life that is funny, heartbreaking and inspiring.

Absolutely amazing
Highly recommend listening to Julies’s first book “Home’ first. She’s so honest, sharing what must have been difficult emotions and relationships. Her work on Broadway and so many much loved movies speak for themselves. I couldn’t stop listening and like the other book, found myself wanting to rewind and go back and listen to some chapters again. I just wish there was a PDF that we could look at whatever photos were included with the hard copy version of both books. Thankyou Julie for sharing so muvh of yourself and your family and friends with your fans.

Very easy to listen to.
Very interesting life and I quite enjoyed hearing about her different acting roles. Julie’s soft oration made it a pleasant read.

Whitewash
How to take what surely was a compelling life long story of tumult and constant adversity and turn it into a bland, goody two shoes recounting.

Full of lovies and Hollywood name-drops
Marginally interesting, would have liked more background on the behind the scenes on films etc., but overall not too bad.

Boring and self indulgent
OMG . I was hoping for an interesting read about her life and other characters but so boring and details that were just not interesting . I found Julies voice very annoying with too much emphasis on elocution . Sorry but a very boring read
