Candice Carty-Williams had a smash hit with her first novel, Queenie, which she described as the black Bridget Jone's Diary.
She was 26 when she wrote it, and it sold more than 500,000 copies, winning Book Of The Year at the British Book Awards in 2020, making her the first Black author to win the award.
Queenie was all about a young black women working for a predominantly white newspaper, trying to straddle two cultures.
Her new novel, People Person, is all about family relationships.
She's one of nine siblings with the same father, so there's resonance with the non-nuclear family at the heart of People Person - a family that comes together, rather than falling apart.
