Practice

A Novel

By: Rosalind Brown

Narrated by: Imogen Wilde

An astonishing first novel about a day in the life of a young student who experiences her thoughts, fantasies, and wishes as she writes about—or tries to write about—Shakespeare’s sonnets.

Rosalind Brown's Practice shows us just one day. Annabel, sitting in her small student room, attempts to write an essay about Shakespeare. She follows a meticulous, solitary routine but finds it repeatedly thrown off course as the day progresses: by family and friends who demand her attention and time, by thoughts of her much older boyfriend and his impending visit, by wild sexual fantasies and stories of her own invented characters—and by darker crises, obliquely glimpsed but capable of derailing Annabel's carefully laid plans.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Talented author; book won’t be for everyone

Unrepentantly masturbatory, as young adulthood and an intellectual life often are. The reader also did a fantastic job.

Bad

Really disliked this novel. Super sorry I wasted an audible credit on it. Surprised it has received positive reviews..
