Curses are like hearts: some are more easily broken than others
Cursed Daughters – the highly anticipated new novel from Oyinkan Braithwaite – will be out in September from Jonathan Ball Publishers!
About the book
No man will call your house, home. And if they try, they will not have peace …
So goes the family curse, long handed down from generation to generation, ruining families and breaking hearts. And now it’s Eniiyi’s turn – who, due to her uncanny resemblance to her dead aunt, Monife, is already used to her family’s strange beliefs, as well as their insistence that she is a reincarnation.
Still, when she falls in love with the handsome boy she saves, she can no longer run from her family’s history.
Is she destined to live out the habitual story of love and heartbreak, or can she escape the family curse and the mysterious fate that befell her aunt?
