Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she'sconstantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places . . . including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain spaceand a bad job of affirming self-worth. As Queenie careens from one questionable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, 'What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be?' -- all of the questions today's woman must face in a world trying to answer them for her. With 'fresh and honest' (Jojo Moyes) prose, Queenie is a remarkably relatable exploration of what it means to be a modern woman searching for meaning in today's world." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Jamaicans $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Identity $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061434.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=031643866E3211E98D41053B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
