Summary

One of Time’s 100 Best Books of the Year  One of NPR’s Best Books of 2019  Named One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2019 by Woman’s Day, Newsday, Publishers Weekly, Bustle, and Book Riot!  “[B]rilliant, timely, funny, heartbreaking.” (Jojo Moyes, number one New York Times best-selling author of Me Before You)  For fans of Luster and I May Destroy You, a disarmingly honest, unapologetically Black, and undeniably witty debut novel that will speak to those who have gone looking for love and found something very different in its place.  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’s constantly forced to compare herself to her White middle-class peers. After a messy breakup from her White long-term boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places...including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and 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.

Summary

Britisch, zeitgeistig und bittersüß.Queenie Jenkins, 25, lebt in London und fühlt sich weder Großbritannien noch der Heimat ihrer Familie, Jamaika, so richtig zugehörig. Sie arbeitet in einer Zeitungsredaktion, wo der Konkurrenzkampf die Hölle ist. Dann endet die Langzeitbeziehung mit ihrem braven Freund auf katastrophale Weise - und Queenie sucht Trost in all den düsteren Ecken, die die Datinghölle des dritten Jahrtausends zu bieten hat. Nach circa eintausend falschen Entscheidungen, stellt sie sich endlich den Fragen, denen sich jede Frau in einer Welt stellen muss, die ganz genau glaubt, die Antworten darauf ohnehin besser zu kennen als sie selbst: Was tust du hier eigentlich? Warum tust du es? Und: wer will ich eigentlich sein? Ausgezeichnet als Buch des Jahres und Debüt des Jahres - British Book Awards 2020 >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible.
