In Cursed Daughters, author Oyinkan Braithwaite explores the tangled legacy of the Falodun women of Lagos, burdened by a generations-old curse that proclaims: “No man will call your house his home.” When Ebun gives birth to Eniiyi the very day her cousin Monife is buried, the uncanny resemblance between child and dead woman sparks a belief that the daughter is Monife’s reincarnation—and that she’s destined to repeat her tragic fate. As Eniiyi falls in love with a young man she rescues from drowning, she can no longer ignore the family curse, the ancestral trauma, or her own longing for freedom.

Braithwaite shifts between multiple timelines and voices—Monife’s, Ebun’s and Eniiyi’s—peeling back layers of superstition, love, rivalry and despair within a modern-yet-ancient Nigerian society. With wit and emotional depth she asks: is this really a supernatural curse, or a legacy of women who refuse to break the mold? Can Eniiyi reclaim her story and defy the fate that trapped her foremothers? The novel culminates in an uneasy balance of hope and reckoning, as the youngest daughter searches for her own home in a world built on others’ heartbreaks.
