Reviews
Frank and fascinating . . . Andrews comes across as plainspoken, guilelessly charming and resoundingly tough.-- Time, Home reflects the very qualities that first made the working-class English singer a star 45 years ago: intelligence, gentle humor, and a clear, sweet, surprisingly powerful voice . . . In warmly nostalgic later chapters, the book begins to glow.-- Entertainment Weekly, "Sincere and inspiring...This charming account of Andrews's professional and personal life will no doubt serve to make the venerated performer all the more beloved."-- Publishers Weekly, "[ 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, "Thrillingly honest but never unkind, Andrews mixes fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of filming... with moving revelations....This enchanting memoir reveals Andrews as a rare creature: a mega-star whose feet remain firmly on the ground." -- Daily Mail, A delightful remembrance of her own childhood, and an engrossing prelude to her cinematic career . . . Andrews is an accomplished writer who holds back nothing while adding a patina of poetry to the antics and anecdotes throughout this memoir of bittersweet backstage encounters and theatrical triumphs.-- Publishers Weekly, " Home Work is an admirable book in many ways: Andrews' frankness about how therapy has helped her, her clear-eyed assessment of her beloved but troubled husband, 'Blackie,' and the graceful kindness that's evident on every page."-- The Seattle Times, "Shares reflections on Andrews's astonishing career, and discusses her famous roles in Mary Poppins , The Sound of Music , Victor/Victoria , and more."-- Bustle, New Celebrity Memoirs that Will Leave You Starstruck This Fall, "Details Andrews' transformation from traveling performer to movie star."-- Los Angeles Times, Book Club Pick, "The inside-look into the perils and stress of movie making, and the honest portrayal of Andrews' struggles to blend her career, home life, and complicated personal matters offers a rich glimpse into a resilient star. Edward's mercurial but brilliant and generous nature is vividly recounted...her memoir makes it vividly clear that her stardom was not an easy path to achieve."-- The Missourian, "[W]arm, graceful, and candid... This deeply pleasurable and forthright chronicle illuminates the myriad reasons 'home work' has such profound meaning for artist and humanitarian Andrews... [a] treasury of delectable Hollywood revelations."-- Booklist, " Home Work is a quiet revelation. And by quiet I don't mean dull. The book is packed with emotion, action, gossip, and fascinating tidbits about craft. The Julie Andrews we get to know is salty, funny, passionate, hard-working, gracious, and above all, a brilliant vocalist and actress who has braved many disappointments."-- O Magazine, "A frank and intimate storyteller whose radiant spirit fills these pages, Andrews chronicles the peaks and valleys of her life and career. This event-packed memoir is a must for fans of Andrews's life and work, students of cinema history, and anyone who is curious about musical film production."-- Library Journal (starred review), "Julie Andrews's two memoirs, Home and Home Work , are at once heartbreaking and awe-inspiring."-- "Our Mothers Ourselves"
