À propos de cet audio

 A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK • A young woman must shake off a family curse and the widely held belief that she is the reincarnation of her dead cousin in this wickedly funny, brilliantly perceptive novel about love, female rivalry, and superstition from the author of the smash hit My Sister, the Serial Killer (“A bombshell of a book... Sharp, explosive, hilarious"—The New York Times)

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME, NPR, USA TODAY

"A triumph: bold, searing, and utterly original. From the first page, it grips with an electric pulse. . . . Impossible to put down."
—Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of Girl with the Louding Voice

When Ebun gives birth to her daughter, Eniiyi, on the day they bury her cousin Monife, there is no denying the startling resemblance between the child and the dead woman. So begins the belief, fanned by the entire family, that Eniiyi is the actual reincarnation of Monife, fated to follow in her footsteps.

There is also the matter of the family curse—“No man will call your house home. And if they try, they will not have peace...”—which has broken numerous hearts and caused three generations of abandoned Falodun women to live under the same roof.

When Eniiyi falls in love, she can no longer run from her family’s history. Is she destined to live out her family's story of love and heartache? Or can she break the pattern, not only avoiding the spiral that led Monife to her lonely death but liberating herself from all the secrets and unspoken traumas that have dogged her steps since before she can remember?

Cursed Daughters is a brilliant cocktail of vibrant humor and hard-won wisdom, romantic love and familial obligation. It asks us what it means to be granted a second chance, and how to live both wisely and well with what we’ve been given.

Editorial Review

Family, fate, and the weight of the past
After enjoying Oyinkan Braithwaite's first novel, My Sister, the Serial Killer, I've been eagerly awaiting her follow-up, Cursed Daughters. Set in Lagos, the story follows three generations of Falodun women who live under a chilling curse to never keep love. At the centre is Eniiyi, born on the day her cousin Monife died—her likeness so uncanny that people believe she's Monife returned. As Eniiyi falls in love, she starts to notice unsettling patterns repeating through her family. Is it truly a curse or just the weight of family history? What I love most is how Cursed Daughters feels both magical and real. Braithwaite writes about family dynamics, womanhood, and generational pain with such honesty that it's impossible not to see yourself somewhere in these pages. —Dawn G., Audible Editor
