Cambridge is more than just a university and a river - let an insider tell you the real stories! In August 2006 the editor of the Cambridge Evening News agreed to take me on for six months to write a weekly column called “Susan in the City”. His brief for me was this: “I am looking for a female columnist who can write bright, witty, fun, entertaining, off-the-wall, zany, I’ve done that, I’ve thought that, that’s happened to me, ludicrous, pithy, thought-provoking and occasionally controversial stuff.” The six month trial stretched into ten and a half years, outlasting three editors and one name change to the Cambridge News , and producing five hundred and ten columns. This book contains my eighty favourite columns from my reign as “Susan in the City”.
