Biography

Charlie At Last is a warm and uplifting account of one woman's long and winding journey to happiness. Janise Beaumont has led a fascinating life as a journalist, travelling the world and interviewing some of the most powerful, interesting and charming men and women of our times. From politicians and business men to stars; from the Packer family and Royalty to Coco Chanel and Ingrid Bergman; and the vacuous social set whose goings-on she chronicled in her popular newspaper column. She writes about the fun - and the disappointments - with humour, and sometimes with pathos. By her own admission, she is a late bloomer, slow to nail down the things she has truly longed for. Motherhood came late, as did a much-wanted reunion with a man who eluded her for 20 years.
