Candice Carty-Willliams Trapeze £12.99 Carty-Williams follows her debut Queenie, about a black journalist, with a narrative that broadens her range to roam between the viewpoints of five half-siblings fathered by a Jamaican bus driver. The action kicks off when they rally round in adulthood to help one of their number, Dimple, handle the aftermath of a toxic boyfriend. Fast-paced and told in broad strokes, it’s a bittersweet comedy mixing pratfalls with caustic insights into sex, family life and social media.
