About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

I bloody adored this perceptive, funny, unflinching novel about growing up, love, sex, mothers and everything (Kate Eberlen, author of Miss You)
A bittersweet delight. Perfectly captures the awkwardness and longing of those who don’t quite fit in (Sarra Manning, author of After the Last Dance and House of Secrets)
Funny, poignant and absolutely brilliant (Rachael Lucas, author of Wildflower Bay)
A powerful, nostalgic, beautiful book, whose characters will retain a small place in your heart even after you finished it (Ronnie Turner)
Achingly romantic and painfully real, [and] one of the best accounts of the mother-daughter bond that I have ever read (Ruth Ware)

Enchanting

I was drawn into this book from page 1 and loved every page. It is simple yet very deep, moving in both a heart wrenching and uplifting way. The characters are brilliantly drawn and Kelly Hotten’s narration brings them perfectly to life. An outstanding production of a unique and wonderfully written book.
