Críticas:

Hilarious, compelling, painful, enlightening, honest. I loved it. (Dolly Alderton)

Queenie is a masterclass in how to write accessible political fiction about race and gender. Funny, relatable, sad, and hopeful; Candice Carty-Williams is a writer to watch. (Christie Watson)

Brilliant, timely, funny, heartbreaking (Jojo Moyes)

Funny, wise and of the moment, this book and this writer are the ones to watch (Kit de Waal)

Queenie has all the things you want in a debut novel - a startlingly fresh voice, characters you fall in love with from the very first page, and a joyous turn of phrase that makes this book almost impossible to put down. In turns hilariously funny and quietly devastating, Queenie is an important, timely story. (Louise O'Neill)

Candice Carty-Williams is a fantastic new writer who has written a deliciously funny, characterful, topical and thrilling novel for our times. (Bernardine Evaristo)

Adorable, funny, heartbreaking (Nina Stibbe)

Queenie is the sort of novel you just can't stop talking about and want everyone you know to read. Snort your tea out funny one moment and utterly heart-breaking the next ... I absolutely loved it (AJ Pearce)

Hilarious and off the wall and tender (Nikesh Shukla)

Candice gives so generously with her joy, pain and humour ... a beautiful and compelling book (Afua Hirsch)

Reseña del editor:

'Hilarious, compelling, painful, enlightening, honest. I loved it' - Dolly Alderton

'Brilliant, timely, funny, heartbreaking' - Jojo Moyes

'Inspirational, funny and wise' - Kit de Waal

Queenie Jenkins can't cut a break. Well, apart from one from her long term boyfriend, Tom. That's definitely just a break though. Definitely not a break up. Stuck between a boss who doesn't seem to see her, a family who don't seem to listen (if it's not Jesus or water rates, they're not interested), and trying to fit in two worlds that don't really understand her, it's no wonder she's struggling.

She was named to be queen of everything. So why is she finding it so hard to rule her own life?

Perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton, Sally Rooney and Diana Evans, and anyone who loved Fleabag and Dear White People.
