Cursed Daughters

No man will call your house his 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 from drowning, 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?

A literary sensation



Sharp, explosive, hilarious



Glittering and funny



Fiendishly talented



I devoured Cursed Daughters and immediately wanted to start all over again. It's a triumph: bold, searing, and utterly original. From the first page, it grips with an electric pulse. Funny and fearless, soaked in secrets, spirit, heartbreak, and love, it's told in a voice as scalding as it is tender. I won't soon forget Eniiyi, Grandma East, Grandma West, Ebun, and Monife-daring and luminous, as lost as she is unforgettable-the one who carved herself deepest into memory. This is a taut, feverish novel that burns itself into you. Impossible to put down.'
