Braithwaite’s 2018 debut novel, the brilliantly titled and mordantly funny pulp thriller ‘My Sister, the Serial Killer’, was a sensation. ‘Cursed Daughters’ is a worthy successor.” - The Times
A chance to hear from one of the most exciting new contemporary authors at work today as she discusses her writing and the inspiration behind her latest, deliciously dark masterpiece. The novel follows calm, rational Eniiyi as she struggles to break free from a generational family curse which states that the person she loves will end up dead.
