Cursed Daughters: A Novel

"You may, like me, be excited to learn that the Nigerian-British novelist Oyinkan Braithwaite has a new novel. In Cursed Daughters , a young woman believed by her relatives to be the reincarnation of her drowned cousin desperately seeks to break the family curse that leaves all their women in their maternal line heartbroken. This bleakly humorous family saga will not disappoint those who loved Braithwaite’s hit debut, My Sister, the Serial Killer and offers a fascinating portrait of life in Lagos, which she depicts as utterly modern yet deeply superstitious.
