Joy's review
Cause Celeb by Helen Fielding
I realize that not many people liked this book, but since I'm always looking for books that bridge the daily lives we have and international human rights concerns, this book is pretty fabulous. There's something just wonderful about the main character's realization dawning moral and critical consciousness that makes her unable to continue with her life. Then she goes off to do good in Africa. But of course that life she left behind has the power to bring a lot of good on Africa as well. The clash of movie-star do-gooders and Africa. . .before Brad and Angelina. Take that, Hollywood! Helen Fielding saw it coming a mile away.
