About this listen

Previously published as 'You'll Never See Daylight Again'

The gritty prison memoir of Michaella McCollum, one half of the infamous 'Peru Two', imprisoned in a Peruvian jail for attempting to smuggle 11kg of cocaine from Peru to Madrid in August 2013.

She was just a regular girl, spending the summer working at a bar in Ibiza, until she was approached by a man who asked her if she'd like to make some quick, easy money...and it would change her life forever. This is the truth of her time in prison, told through her own diaries and letters to her mother, family and friends, recounting tales of vicious guards, psychotic inmates and horrendous prison conditions.

A brilliantly affecting tale of a naïve young girl who starts out in the Ibiza party scene and comes of age in the dark heart of Peru, before finally emerging into the sun a stronger, more confident, mature young woman.

I loved it. I couldn't stop listening. I had to find out what happened next. I remember the headlines but I didn't closely follow her story at the time. It really is fascinating, though. It seems that a lot of people have no sympathy for Michaella and let that cloud their view of the book.
I agree with other reviewers that there were times when she may have come across as entitled. She was also living better than most of the prisoners because <spoiler alert> she received a lot of food and money. Having said that, after listening to her tell her side of the story I think she is actually likeable. She did go through quite a lot and bettered herself in the process.
I also thought the narrator was very good at both telling the story and doing the accents of others in the book.

I guess you either love it or hate it
