Queenie

by Candice Carty-Williams

Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman grappling with a splintered identity in the heart of London, a city bustling with life yet filled with complexities of racial and cultural expectations. Struggling to find her place in the world after a turbulent breakup with her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie plunges into an emotional odyssey that finds her entangled in a series of unfulfilling relationships. Her journey is punctuated by introspective questions about who she is, what she values, and the person she yearns to become—an exploration that resonates deeply with modern women facing similar crossroads. Candid and heartbreakingly humorous, 'Queenie' is a poignant tale of self-discovery against the backdrop of societal pressures and the search for genuine connection and self-worth.
