Description
About Cursed Daughters
Oyinkan Braithwaite returns with a darkly humorous and compelling tale set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos. This highly anticipated release follows the lives of the Falodun women, exploring the weight of a multi-generational hex that condemns them to heartbreak. The story centers on Eniiyi, a young woman who bears a striking resemblance to her late cousin, Monife.
A Modern Tale of Superstition
In Cursed Daughters, Braithwaite masterfully blends contemporary Nigerian life with deep-rooted superstitions. As family members whisper that Eniiyi is a reincarnation, the narrative delves into the pressures of tradition versus modernity. It serves as a sharp social commentary on female rivalry, mother-daughter relationships, and the lengths we go to for love.
