Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

'Extraordinary . . . radiant' Sunday Times
'An existential tour-de-force' Eimear McBride
'Elatingly risky' Guardian

'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 writers, as human beings.
