Oyinkan Braithwaite saw incredible success following the release of her debut novel, My Sister the Serial Killer. She’s back with another story set in Lagos, Nigeria. Cursed Daughters follows a line of women who believe they’re cursed when it comes to finding lasting love, and when a newborn baby closely resembles her aunt who tragically died young, the women in the family cannot help but speculate that she is her aunt reincarnated and doomed to the same fate. I spoke with Oyinkan Braithwaite about Cursed Daughters and here’s our conversation.
