Synopsis
Joanna Nadin's first novel for adults, The Queen of Bloody Everything, is about mothers, daughters and how we can make many choices in life but can't choose where we come from.
As Edie Jones lies in a bed on the fourteenth floor of a Cambridge hospital, her adult daughter Dido tells their story, starting with the day that changed everything.
That was the day Dido – aged exactly six years and twenty-seven days old – met the handsome Tom Trevelyan, his precocious sister, Harry, and their parents, Angela and David.
The day Dido fell in love with a family completely different from her own.
Because the Trevelyans were exactly the kind of family Dido dreamed of.
They were normal.

Reviews
Heartfelt . . . A wonderful example of Spangles Lit
I bloody adored this perceptive, funny, unflinching novel about growing up, love, sex, mothers and everything
You’re in for a treat with this one
A bittersweet delight. Perfectly captures the awkwardness and longing of those who don’t quite fit in
