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.
