Summary
A startling and gripping novel, Suzy Suzy follows a teenage girl trying to understand the chaos of her family life.
Suzy lives in a dysfunctional household. She can't stand her mother; her father is keeping secrets; and her brother seems only to egg on their parents' erratic and unpredictable behaviour. Alongside her friends, Suzy finds herself drawn into the downward spiral of her parents' relationship, and as a result is drawn into the centre of a mystery surrounding a murder. Forced to make impossible choices, Suzy must navigate the increasingly disturbing antics of her family and the oddities of the mystery she finds herself involved in, while also trying to survive the horrors of secondary school.
William Wall is an underrated Irish master with a powerful, distinctive writing style and an uncanny ability to create astonishingly complex and well-realised female protagonists.
Critic reviews

"[Wall] is a powerful writer...The prose style is punchy and accessible." (Irish Independent)
"A terrific novel...Stares directly at the dark side of contemporary Ireland without looking away, or even blinking." (David Means)
