The Invisible Girl - Debbie Barham

Am reading a book about a young comedy writer, Debbie Barham, who died from anorexia aged 26. It's a memoir by her father. She was a precocious and prolific talent, writing for a number of BBC radio shows (Week Ending, The News Huddlines) by the age of 15 and her CV at her untimely death is more than most comedy writers achieve in a lifetime. Anyway, an interesting insight and moving read.
