Cursed Daughters

Cursed Daughters is an engrossing read, a haunting, twisty tale of curses, romance, and tangled family ties. Rich in atmosphere and driven by Braithwaite’s sharp prose, it delivers startling turns and high emotional stakes * Ayòbámi Adébáyò, author of Stay With Me and A Spell of Good Things *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.’ * Abi Daré, author of the bestselling The Girl with the Louding Voice *Cursed Daughters is a rich and absorbing tale of destiny versus self-determinism, underpinned by a sweeping love story. I lost myself within its gorgeous pages * Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things *A bold and mysterious novel about family curses and women threaded together through time and folklore * Diana Evans, author of A House for Alice *Ingenious… Multi-layered and emotionally resonant… Confident and compelling * Big Issue *A bold and emotional story of loss, love and destiny * Heat Magazine *Gritty, other-worldly and lively with twists * Mail on Sunday *Powerful… Still has its teeth in me * Red Magazine *Dark and captivating * Stylist *A taut, twisted tale of Gothic suspense and acid-drop humour * The I Paper *A brilliantly crafted, devastating read * The Sun *A worthy successor to My Sister, the Serial Killer… Pacey storytelling, nuanced characterisation and sharp dialogue… An immersive page-turner * Sunday Times *Braithwaite’s strength lies in vivid characterisation: her women are headstrong, flawed and compelling… Cursed Daughters is compulsive reading * Financial Times *
