Susan Beale was brought up on Cape Cod and now lives in the UK. She is a recent graduate of the Bath Spa MA in Creative Writing. The Good Guy is her first novel.
A joy - Samantha Harvey, author of The WildernessWhat Beale does so beautifully in this accomplished debut novel is to put you right into the minds of the three main characters . . . A few other things also set this book apart. One is the framing device of a prologue and epilogue set in 2008, showing one of the long-term effects of Ted and Penny's affair and demonstrating the story's personal resonance for the author. Another is the authentic period voices and vocabulary, often expressed in food metaphors . . . a delicious, slightly gossipy summer read with a Mad Men feel to it. I'd especially recommend this to readers who enjoyed The Longest Night by Andria Williams and Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann - BookbagThere's definitely a Mad Men vibe to The Good Guy - RedPerfect summer read - Nudge BooksFresh and lively - Daily Mail
