Product Details

About the Book

Cursed Daughters follows the women of the Falodun family, who believe they carry a curse spoken generations ago by a wounded first wife: "No man will call your house, home. And if they try, they will not have peace." The novel weaves together three timelines and three women — free-spirited, rebellious Monife, who dies young and mysteriously on a Lagos beach; her cousin Ebun, who gives birth to a daughter on the very day Monife is buried; and Eniiyi, Ebun's daughter, who grows up haunted by her family's conviction that she is Monife reincarnated.

As Eniiyi comes of age and falls in love for the first time, she can no longer avoid confronting her family's history — and must decide whether she is destined to repeat the same story of heartbreak and loss, or whether she can break free of the patterns, secrets, and unspoken trauma that have shaped the women before her. Blending vibrant humor with hard-won wisdom, and rooted deeply in Yoruba cosmology and belief in reincarnation, Cursed Daughters is a searing, funny, and deeply moving exploration of fate, inherited pain, and the fight for selfhood — from the acclaimed author of the internationally bestselling My Sister, the Serial Killer.
