The Queen of Bloody Everything

Joanna Nadin's debut adult novel, The Queen of Bloody Everything, explores themes of family, choices, and origins through the perspective of Dido, who recounts her relationship with a new family she adores. As Dido reflects on a pivotal day from her childhood—the day she met the Trevelyans—the story reveals how those early moments shape her understanding of her own life and identity. Set against the backdrop of a hospital room, the narrative thoughtfully examines the complexities of familial ties and personal desires.
