Queenie Author: Candace Carty-Williams Narrator: Jennifer Ikeda (among others)

Would you like to know more about the author, Candace Carty-Williams, or is there something specific you'd like to know about the audiobook?

Listening to this struggle is a vastly different experience from reading it. When Queenie spirals, the audiobook listener hears the breathlessness in the narrator's voice. The internal thoughts that Queenie tries to suppress are whispered or spoken with a nervous energy that makes the listener feel like they are sitting right next to her in her South London flat. It creates a sense of intimacy and voyeurism that makes the themes of the book hit much harder. You aren't just observing her breakdown; you are hearing it happen.
