description: 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 nearby 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. `A champion first novel... what makes it such a pleasure to read is its variety of flip, flirtatious, serious, mocking and moving... get hold of a copy of this book` Observer `A terrific achievement... The camp scenes are as moving and funny as the original M.A.S.H.; she sends up the self-important "mediacracy" with an insider`s wit, and it`s written at a romping pace with a cliff-hanger finish` Cosmopolitan `Sharp, gutsy and refreshing` Independent `Thoughtful, ironic and completely gripping` Harry Enfield `A brilliantly funny satire` Time Out
