Queenie Is Working on It

Queenie is back – irrepressible, overthinking, hilarious. Following the success of her TV show, Champion, Carty-Williams’ third adult novel radiates the energy, vulnerability and frank humour that made her debut a mega-smash. Now 33, Queenie is “bigger, not better; older, not wiser”. She has got a great job at a grassroots media platform reporting on issues affecting Black women, and she has got a guy – sort of, except he keeps going off radar. But a work investigation into the treatment of Black women from conception to childbirth brings her own fertility into sharp focus, just as everyone else seems to be procreating like rabbits.
