Description
After her long-term relationship ends, twenty-five-year-old Queenie Jenkins finds herself navigating a precarious new life in London, caught between Jamaican and British identities and struggling to feel at home in either. Working at a national newspaper, she confronts racism, class expectations, family tensions, and the painful consequences of seeking comfort in damaging relationships. As her choices spiral, Queenie must reckon with buried trauma, self-worth, and the difference between desire and genuine care. Sharp, candid, and darkly funny, this acclaimed debut explores friendship, belonging, sexuality, and the difficult path toward healing.
