Life with Susie

Chris Chesney

Having retired from international banking in 2000 and forming his own consultancy company, Chris Chesney spent 5 months in 2009 incarcerated in French and Italian prisons accused of acts of fraud he did not commit. When he then returned to the UK he immediately set about putting down such experiences on paper. The resulting book, "A Consuming Rage", accurately reflects his justifiable anger at the bizarre incompetence demonstrated with careless abandon by the Italian judicature. However, whilst writing his book was understandably cathartic, Chris also found it enjoyable and it embarked him upon a second career, of authorship. His fourth book, "Life with Susie", recounts his often hilarious life with his former and now late wife, not just in the UK but also in their travels abroad, especially in the US, told with affectionate and loving memory.
