Disillusioned by her glitzy 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 near-by 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. Helen Fielding was born in Yorkshire and lives in London. She worked for several years for the BBC and now writes for various national newspapers. "Cause Celeb" was her first novel, originally published by Picador in 1994.
