Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize 2021.

A 'Books of 2021' Pick in The Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Irish Times Culture and New Statesman.

We read in order to come to life.

With fierce imagination, a woman revisits the moments that shape her life; from crushes on teachers to navigating relationships in a fast-paced world; from overhearing her grandmothers' peculiar stories to nurturing her own personal freedom and a boundless love of literature.

Fusing fantasy with lived experience, Checkout 19 is a vivid and mesmerising journey through the small traumas and triumphs that define us - as readers, as listeners, as writers, as human beings.

Excellent broadsheet reviews but...

Very disappointed in this book. I read an almost ecstatic review in the NYT and the sample sounded good.

It starts as first person stream of consciousness... but that appears to be the whole book. Its rambling and repetitive, just like our thoughts. I could only listen to about 30 minutes of it. I skipped ahead a few chapters to see if it was all the same and it appear so. It felt like being inside someone elses migraine.

So, not for me. but if you listen to the sample and fancy 6 hours 50 mins more the same, this could be fabulous.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
