Their long-standing friend, photographer Dominique Issermann, has spent years attempting the same task on film, captured here in episodic bursts. The result: a mirror held up to Susie – the ethereal presence – whose form beguiles and evades the lens. There are many characters within and many Susies to record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her own words, the role Susie feels most true to is that of mother, and this book is an extraordinary testament to its power. It offers a poignant visual account of both the devastating loss of a beloved child and the deep comfort found in the one who remains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith reflections from Nick and Susie throughout, this is a book to cherish: it affirms faith in art, enchantment, beauty and the strength of the human spirit. It is a visual ode to love, to family and to Susie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Cave US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49564948856970,"sku":"NCV-24-0011","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/3685\/0826\/files\/9780500029855.jpg?v=1781776116","url":"https:\/\/store-na.nickcave.com\/products\/susie-book-standard-edition","provider":"Nick Cave US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
