A few years after packing for London, teenager Debbie Barham was
writing the funniest lines for the top names in British comedy. But
her genius belied a darker, destructive side that slowly span out
of control. By 26 she had died of anorexia. This powerful memoir is
her father's search to understand his daughter and make sense of
her troubled end. In this poignant memoir of his daughter's short
life, Peter Barham sets out to discover the powerful force that
drove Debbie to anorexia, whilst inspiring her to write some of the
best lines in British comedy. Drawing on her copious e-mails and
scripts, and featuring contributions from some of the UK's most
famous comedians, including Rory Bremner, Clive Anderson, Ned
Sherrin and Bob Monkhouse, Peter takes you from the heady
excitement of Debbie's mid-teen years to her troubled, solitary
end. 'The Invisible Girl' is a father's remarkable journey to
discover what went wrong in the mysterious and very private world
of his daughter. It is a powerful and moving story that will make
you laugh and cry in equal measure.
