CURSED DAUGHTERS

Three narrators smoothly differentiate three women who live in Lagos in three different time frames. In the late 1980s, Monife, portrayed by Weruche Opia, wrestles with falling in love despite the curse on her family that ruins her romantic relationships. During the early 2000s, Ebun, portrayed by Diana Yekinni, gives birth to a daughter on the same day that Monife dies. Ebun must keep many family secrets in order to protect her child. In the present, Eniiyi, portrayed by Nnei Opia Clark, is the spitting image of Monife. As she finds love, she fears she might be doomed to the same fate as Monife. The Nigerian accents of the narrators make the women in this immersive novel seem even more real. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
