Queenie is a sensitive, funny, and oftentimes sad novel of a young British-Jamaican woman navigating through her twenties in London. Depicting her relationships, family bonds, and friendships, it touches upon universal themes, while her own voice stays characteristically strong and independent.
The wonderful thing about Queenie is the balance between individual and collective experience. It helps you understand another perspective more without isolating that as one that can only be understood by the one going through. As a result, it is a voice of common ground, one that strives not for sameness but more empathy.
Queenie is a delight, and a wise read. It is deep and meaningful, while succeeds in easy to read at all times.
