Queenie: The gripping, epic historical crime novel from the No 1 Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Bus daug smurto, meilės ir išdavystės, jos gyvenimo kely, bet pati Kvine man patiko savo stiprybe, ryžtu, išmoktomis gyvenimo pamokomis ir begaline meile savo vaikams(ypač vyriausiajam sūnui Vinui). Obviously when I saw that the author had written a novel following Queenie from a young girl to the formidable woman that we know and love in the series, well of course I had to read it.

Tad nuo Kvinės (kaip merginos, moters, motinos) pasistengiau atsiriboti ir gilintis tik į tai, kokiomis meninėmis priemonėmis autorė praturtina veiksmą, kokias formas ir metodus naudoja kūrybos procese. I saw Kimberly Chambers being interviewed just this week on the BBC, and she’s so down to earth, not to mention amusing, and this certainly transfers to her books, along with an incredible gift for writing. I remember being in London and seeing Payback on sale early in ASDA on the Isle of Dogs, and so I bought it and didn’t mind one jot about carrying a big hardback around with me because I had one of my most anticipated books of the year early.Although Queenie is fully aware of their dishonest ways, they never let her down when it comes to family.

While I could talk about the story all day, and it would literally take me all day because this isn’t just a book, it felt like multiple books in one. this book can be read as a stand alone, but if you have not read the other four butlers trilogy you will after this.She also worked as a pub DJ and as a mini-cab driver in Romford before writing her first novel, Billie Jo, at the age of 38. This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one. The story follows Queenie up to the 1960’s, and tells us how she ends up marrying Albie, and her determination, when her kids come along, to instil within them the belief that they can be anything they want to be, but her first born Vinnie takes it quite literally - he wants to be king of the East End, and nothing will interfere with his plans - this is one dodgy and violent character, and even though Queenie acknowledges his faults, she loves him regardless. Queenie has all the ingredients the authors legion of fans have come to love and I’m sure they won’t be disappointed, it has shocks, tender moments, it’s gritty, and authentic. As you would expect the dialogue between the characters is as usual spot on full of humour, sadness, and sometimes anger, it gives the reader a wonderful insight into the Butler’s life, like many families they are protective of their own (most of the time anyway!

Paprastai, kai vertinimas svyruoja tarp patenkinamo ir gero, skiriu knygai 7 balus, bet pažymiu ją keturiomis žvaigždutėmis, nes: gal ko teigiamo joje nepastebėjau, nesupratau ar dėl kitų priežasčių bijau būti neobjektyvus. So when Frankie Mitchell and Jed O’Hara shared a forbidden love, it marked the beginning of the end. Chambers published another five books with Preface before moving to HarperCollins with her novel in 2012.

For the first time we get learn Queenie's story from a young girl in World War II up until the 60's. Despite being faced by numerous challenges for more than forty years, Maureen maintains her loyalty to her brood.
