My first non-work related read in a long time and I loved it. ‘Cursed Daughters’ by Oyinkan Braithwaite is a novel about a generational love curse passed onto the women in the Falodun family leading to heartbreak, ruin and devastation. The book spans across times and characters, looking at the cousins Monife and Ebun, and then Eniiyi. Can the curse be broken for Eniiyu or is fate too strong?
I loved the short chapters, the focus on women and the exploration of the power of the curse.
The ending was great but I think I wanted it drawn out a bit more. Difficult to put down! Braithwaite’s other book ‘My Sister, The Serial Killer’ was also a fab read too.

Bring on 3 weeks of holidays and more reading for fun.
