The glittering follow-up to the award-winning literary bestseller My Sister, the Serial Killer.
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'
Guardian, on My Sister, the Serial Killer
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In 2018, My Sister, the Serial Killer launched author Oyinkan Braithwaite into the literary scene. This long-awaited sequel revisits the Faloduns, this time focusing on the generations of heartbreak and trauma the family’s women have experienced. Grandmothers, great-grandmothers and others interrupt the central narrative, and the audiobook’s multiple cast members do a wonderful job of realising this layered storytelling. Baby Eniiyi is born on the day of her aunt Monife’s funeral, but just how similar are the two women and what binds their stories together? There are strange visions and family reckonings. But are the Falodun women truly cursed, or are they just condemned to remember the past?
