Sobre este áudio
'A strange and shimmering joy' Jon McGregor
'Entrancing' TLS
'A lot of fun' Helen Oyeyemi
In a small room in an Oxford college, at the worn-out end of January, Annabel works on an essay about Shakespeare.
She has a carefully considered plan for her day, but as the essay's deadline looms, so too does the urge to procrastinate and the insistent presence of other people.
Elaborate erotic fantasies, telephone calls from her boyfriend, family and friends who demand her attention, and darker crises, obliquely glimpsed - all these distractions threaten to disturb the much-cherished quiet in Annabel's mind.
'Exquisite' Mark Haddon
'Wonderful' Guardian
'Fascinating' Olivia Laing
Resumo da Crítica
'Practice is rich and precise and intelligent. I started counting up paradoxes: a novel about restriction that stages beautiful questions about fantasy; a novel limited to a single day that swoops among time frames; a novel where containment allows for bravura stylistic power. It's a unique novel.' (Adam Thirlwell, author of The Future Future)
'A day in the life of an introspective and erudite student, Practice makes clear the gulf between an interior life and the one that is presented to the world. Rosalind Brown has a rare ability to record - with great humour, originality and near-hallucinogenic precision - the significance, or not, of each tumbling moment and thought.' (Jennifer Higgie, author of The Mirror and the Palette)
'A detailed and lyrical ode to one young woman's way of being, and to the little rituals that guide her. I found Practice to be both cautionary and rousing. A candid portrait of a day in a tightly controlled life.' (Chloë Ashby, author of Second Self)
