A New York Times 10 Best Books of 2022 Selection '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. A 'Books of 2021' pick in the Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Irish Times Culture and New Statesman 'This is her new book to shake the world anew' Sebastian Barry 'Mesmerising, whip-smart, full of genius . . . It is also very funny' Elaine Feeney 'Her voice is all her own' Anne Enright
