Back in 2019, Queenie quickly became the book that everyone on the Tube was reading. After signing a six-figure deal following a bidding war between four publishers, it was always going to be something special.

It went on to win Book of the Year at the British Book Awards, counting the likes of Stormzy, Jojo Moyes and Dolly Alderton as fans. It’s even being adapted for the screen by Channel 4. Fast forward to now and the author of that very book, Candice Carty-Williams, has not only graced us with another stellar novel but she’s also written a new drama for the BBC.
