Queenie

Carty-Williams, Candice
Genre: 
Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places . . . including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth. As Queenie careens from one questionable decision to another she finds herself wondering 'What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be?' -- all of the questions today's woman must face in a world trying to answer them for her. "Queenie" is a remarkably relatable exploration of what it means to be a modern woman searching for meaning in today's world.
