In Susan we find a character as exasperating and delightful as The Rosie Project's Don Tillman. After studying Law, she worked in London and Birkenhead as a solicitor, in Toxteth as an advice worker, and in Manchester as an investigator of complaints about lawyers. This sparkling debut is a breath of fresh air with real heart and a powerful emotional punch. Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susan's greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control. She has a London flat which is ideal for one a steady job that suits her passion for logic and a personal arrangement providing cultural and other, more intimate, benefits.
