The Beautiful Girl by Sophie Townsend
As a teenager, Sophie was bookish and keen, but her daughter is more interested in make-up. Written and read by Sophie Townsend.
As a teenager, Sophie Townsend was swotty and awkward, bookish and unsophisticated.
She used to watch the pretty, popular girls across the playground as if they were creatures from another planet.
Now a mother herself, she is mystified by her 14-year-old daughter, who is more interested in make-up than books, and who struggles with her grades at school. She is one of the pretty ones. Perhaps too pretty for her own good.
