About this listen

Kathy has worked at a beloved Brisbane indie record store for half her life. She arrived as a teenager high on her dad’s supply of Led Zeppelin, stayed through her twenties and suddenly thirty is on the horizon and she’s still there, measuring her self-worth by her knowledge of the Velvet Underground’s back catalogue.

Lately, though, cracks have been appearing in Kathy’s comfortable indie bubble. Her friends – feisty Mel, the only other woman employed at the store, and straight-laced Alex, whom Kathy has known since preschool – are growing up and moving on, while she’s stuck in a cycle of record store, pub, repeat, with the rest of the music bros at the store. But how do you move forward when you’re stuck in a groove? And what happens when you realise that you’ve been working so hard to be part of the boys’ club that you never stopped to wonder if you should be creating a club of your own?

Her Fidelity is a feminist coming-of-age story for anyone who has ever felt that a song understood them more than their own family, for anyone who has ever felt like the culture they love might not love them back, and for anyone who has ever turned to Stevie Nicks for advice while ignoring the sensible people around them.

Come for the laffs, stay for the poignancy

A book for anyone who has stayed too long in a dead end job, mired in listlessness while everyone around you moves on. It’s very witty too, almost like Laurie Colwin got a job in a record store.

Better than a sneaky night cheese

I just finished her fidelity and cried my eyes out. I really loved it. All the characters were so real and all the little mundane things that make up a life were made so much richer than a lesser authors more fantastical tales. Deffo recommend
