Twilight at Bondi beach, Glenn Orgias was surfing when the worst happened: he was attacked by a shark, a 'man in a grey suit', as surfers call them. When it released him, Glenn watched his blood wash over his board, he looked to shore - 80 metres to paddle with one hand, a few minutes of strength, and a shark to avoid. He thought of his wife, Lisa. She was four months pregnant.

Man in a Grey Suit is a powerful memoir about overcoming life's obstacles, large and small. It's the story of how surfing helped Glenn find some release from the anger and anxiety he felt growing up, and how something that so nearly killed him actually helped turn his life around. This is a brave, honest and moving account of how an ordinary man dealt with an extraordinary event.
