Oyinkan Braithwaite's *Cursed Inheritance* explores compelling themes of family legacy, women confronting and resisting patriarchal structures, and the heavy weight of intergenerational trauma. However, the writing itself didn't quite captivate me; the prose felt somewhat flat. The plot also struggled to build suspense, as we were often aware or had a strong inkling of impending events from the outset. It's an okay novel, but it didn't grab me as intensely as Braithwaite's debut, *My Sister, the...

Oyinkan Braithwaite's *Cursed Inheritance* is a gorgeously intense story about a complicated family of women, each cursed in their past relationships with men. Braithwaite has truly raised the bar since her already wonderful *My Sister, the Serial Killer*, managing to combine a raucous humor—especially around the grandmothers—with a powerful love story featuring Monife, who was a standout character for me. The backdrop of Lagos is beautifully rendered, from the tribal frictions to the modern ci...

Thank you to Doubleday for providing a physical copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. *Cursed Inheritance* is a very different book from Oyinkan Braithwaite's debut novel, but in a good way.

Told in multiple perspectives, we follow the Falodun women: • Monife, who committed suicide after falling too hard for her Golden Boy; • Ebun, Monife's cousin who has kept the s...

But I was also a bit let down by some things—the slow beginning that rushed to the end, the confusing shifts in time and point of ...
