 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS

SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION

'Brilliant, timely, funny, heartbreaking' Jojo Moyes

'A must-read novel about sex, selfhood, and the best friendships that get us through it all' Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City

Queenie is a twenty-five-year-old Black woman living in south London, straddling Jamaican and British culture whilst slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white, middle-class peers, and beg to write about Black Lives Matter. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie finds herself seeking comfort in all the wrong places.

As Queenie veers from one regrettable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be? - the questions that every woman today must face in a world that keeps trying to provide the answers for them.

A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on life, love, race and family, Queenie will have you nodding in recognition, crying in solidarity and rooting for this unforgettable character every step of the way. A disarmingly honest, boldly political and truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and acceptance and found something very different in its place.©2019 Candice Carty-Williams (P)2019 Orion Publishing Group Ltd Fiction Fiction biographique Passage à l'âge adulte Vie urbaine

    The audiobook version read by Shvorne Marks was a real treat (all the different accents she puts on are excellent and when she voices men, it's doesn't sound forced at all). I don't think I would have wanted to finish the story had it not been for her reading. The first half of Queenie was quite depressing to get through (both for me and for the protagonist). It dragged at times and I was really baffled at how much nonsense Queenie could tolerate. I feel like her support circle only manisfested itself towards the 2nd half almost a little too late, and while realistically, people do take a long time to heal, I was desperate to see her relationship with men evolve into something healthy. I don't think it reaches that point yet in the book but there is hope for a loving future full of family and laughter and good food (food mentions were delicious I have noted!) for Queenie. I don't think you can compare it to Bridget Jones because the vibe is totally different. If you want to read about a modern British woman today and how she faces racism, misoginy and low-self esteem, this is a good portrayal. Not a comedy like it was marketed, but not a tragedy either.

    The performance was astonishing. The accents were very well portrayed. The story made me smile and laugh. I was upset by some of Queenie's decisions, but we definitely saw her evolve throughout the story. I enjoyed this book so much that sometimes, during my day, I was craving to find a moment to listen to it. I would recommend you to read/listen to this book if you want something entertaining and light. The author made me want to listen to her other book : People Person.

    Loved it

    Queenie learn to become herself, going from disaster to disaster, tearing down the strong woman trope and questionning the need of mental care for black women in this world.

    Such a powerful, raw, moving, thought provoking, funny story. Everyone should listen to, or read this, we all have something to learn from the story. Relatable on so may levels, and eye opening on so many other.
    This should be a mandatory read for everyone British when they turn 18 or maybe 21, the fact that there is a bit of uncomfortably graphic rough sex is the only thing that stops me writing to the government to get it set in schools!
