Dame Suzy D: My Story
Author(s): Susan Devoy
NZ Non Fiction | Biography & Autobiography | 09 - April
A four-time world squash champion, Dame Susan Devoy has led a remarkably varied life. She's been Race Relations Commissioner, a television star, a newspaper columnist, raised four boys and met Bill Clinton and King Charles. Fiercely driven and wildly competitive, her straight up style and hilarious turn of phrase won her a whole new generation of fans during her two appearances on Celebrity Treasure Island in 2022 and 2023.
In her own words - and in her distinctive style - Dame Susan tells the story of her life, from reigning supreme in the world of sport, to having to start over after she and her husband John lost everything, to why she'll try anything once - including picking kiwifruit to stave off lockdown-induced boredom.
Frank, funny, and pulling no punches, Susan Devoy's life story is unlike any other you've read.
