She will be signing books at Waterstones in Romford this Saturday at 1pm and Sunday at Lakeside Waterstones. It was good to learn more about the origins of the Butlers and if you like a gritty crime or family saga then this one will be for you! When I first started reading Queenie it seemed like I was meeting up with old friends but their younger versions. Chambers published another five books with Preface before moving to HarperCollins with her novel in 2012. This takes us back to the outbreak of WWII when Queenie and her sister Vivian are sent from east London to the relative safety of the countryside.

Today the Havering Daily had the exclusive opportunity to talk to her about her life and her latest book ‘ Queenie‘ that comes out tomorrow. Coming from a rough area of Liverpool maybe that’s why, but I always love reading about the old East End, and Kim always brings it to life so well.This book can be read as a standalone, but I'm sure, if you haven't already read The Butker series, you will after reading this marvellous book. She also enjoys spending time working out at the YMCA, blowing money in the West-End, hanging out in a pub, and yelling at referees in White Hart Lane. Kimberley brings the story vividly to life on the page and I was transfixed with the book all weekend. Having a fairly normal upbringing until the war happened which then turned her and her families lives upside down.

Moreover, I find it difficult to forgive some of her behaviour, particularly in the way she responds to her own son's behaviour.I have to admit to finishing Queenie with a bit of a lump in my throat, once again Kimberley Chambers has written another story that is going to stay with me for a long time.

The story takes us through Queenie’s childhood into adulthood, her marriage, having children and getting to know the younger butlers as children and watching them grow. Kenny’s son Donny might lack his father’s edge but his twin grandsons, Beau and Brett – well, they are Bonds through and through.
Queenie had a truly shocking start to life and I enjoyed seeing how she made a life for herself and the family that she went on to have. Tai jau antroji autorės knyga, kurią perskaičiau, galiu tik pasakyti tiek, kad labai patiko, ir tikrai nesitikėjau, kad knyga bus tokia įtraukianti ir nuostabi. She has become known for her dark writing style, gritty dialogue, and ability to bring horrible images to life. Everything however turns upside down when her daughter Debbie reveals that she’s expecting the baby of her disreputable junkie boyfriend, Billy McDaid.

I would like to thank NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and the author Kimberley Chambers for my ARC in exchange for an honest review. 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. So when Kimberley Chambers decided to give us Queenie's story I just knew it was going to be a blinder of a read. Hi, i am reading tainted blood, Queen Butler, I have read the first one but I have also read the 1st sone and there are gaps to the Butlers and Viv.This book can be read as a standalone but I'm sure if you haven't already read the Butler series, you will after reading this marvellous book.
