Queenie is witty, honest, confused, pinballing through life at a breaking point. She is a character of multitudes and Candice Carty-Williams writes the diverse voices in her life with a deft hand. 

What we learn is to inhabit the mind and body of trauma, and more specifically, the trauma of a black woman in London, from the inside.
