New Book by Suzanne Lynch
Available from your local bookseller
The much-anticipated new book, Yesterday When I Was Young, is out now!
Beautifully crafted and richly nostalgic, the book captures Suzanne’s remarkable journey in music and life. Packed with rare, never-before-seen photos and heartfelt stories, it offers a unique glimpse behind the curtain at one of New Zealand’s most enduring performers.
This book is more than a look back – it’s a celebration of music, memories and the people who shaped them. From the excitement of those early days on stage, to the joy of performing with friends and icons around the world, Yesterday When I Was Young reflects on a life lived in music with honesty, humour and heart.
Heartfelt thanks to editor Karen Hay, whose insight and guidance helped shape this memoir into one Suzanne is truly proud of.
Yesterday When I Was Young is available from booksellers nationwide.
Every track tells a part of the journey – from stage to studio, past to present. Play the tracks alongside Suzanne’s memoir Yesterday When I Was Young and discover the songs that are closest to her heart.
“That nightingale voice, so pure and in perfect tune. My memories of Suzanne Lynch are amazing.”
