Review: Queenie
Queenie is the story of a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living and working in London. After a messy break up from her long-term boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places, including the company of several hazardous men who do nothing for her sense of self-worth. She does this whilst managing her ‘far from nuclear’ family, mental health, trauma, a job at a newspaper surrounded by white middle class microaggression-harbouring colleagues, friendships, singledom and sexuality.
