Cursed Daughters follows a family of women navigating power, secrets, and the weight of inherited trauma across generations. Oyinkan Braithwaite weaves together multiple timelines and perspectives, moving from a grandmother's silence to a granddaughter's reckoning with what was never said. The prose is taut and atmospheric, with an undercurrent of magical realism that makes the emotional stakes feel both intimate and mythic.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it is a contemporary novel that takes family curses seriously, both as metaphor and as lived experience. Cursed Daughters is a strong pick for readers of literary fiction, fans of multigenerational stories, and anyone interested in how trauma echoes through time.
