I think Queenie contains a message for all of us

Self-confessed ‘telly-addict’ Rev Bryony Taylor gives her review of Queenie, and says it reminded her that we are all just looking for acceptance.

I read Candice Carty-Williams’ novel Queenie when it was first published in 2019. It is a barnstorming book that dragged my Gen X self into the world of Gen Z (in other words, it made me feel a bit old!) The author herself has described the main character, Queenie, as the ‘black Bridget Jones’ and this is a good way to think of it.
