In Blushes 8, the advertisement for their new video, Big Girls Do Cry, referenced a book, quoted below. I've always wondered, is this movie based on a story, and if so, does anyone have a copy?
Not to be missed! For those who know the book's plot, it will be sufficient to say that none of Susan's experiences at 'Georgie's' hands are missed out or skimped; for those who haven't read the book, some extracts follow which highlight the bum-tingling, blush-making embarrassments of Susan's first weeks at the home of a 'friend of the family'.
"Watching from the airport observation platform, Susan's eyes followed the jet as it began its thundering run along the length of the runway.
Although she knew that they probably wouldn't see her, she waved to her parents seated somewhere in that slim grey shape, then shaded her eyes with her hand as it climbed steeply away toward the sun.
For a long time she stood unmoving, her attention centred on the aircraft as it wheeled and turned away, becoming no more than a speck before disappearing into the shimmering blue of the sky.
When there was no longer anything to see she turned away, gratefully taking Uncle George's comforting hand and walked with him to the exit stairway.
In the car she was quiet at first, but as they reached the outskirts of London and threaded their way through the start of the rush-hour traffic, she began to brighten up a bit.
'Well,' she said, 'that's that. I'm all yours now, I suppose.'"
