Publisher's 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.

Babbling brook

Nicely narrated and pleasant to listen to but becomes like a babbling brook with no arc, I found it meandered and was more like streaming consciousness than engaging the reader/listening.
