Cursed daughters : a novel / Oyinkan Braithwaite.
"When Ebun gives birth to her daughter, Eniiyi, on the day they bury her cousin Monife, there is no denying the startling resemblance between the child and the dead woman. So begins the belief, fanned by the entire family, the Eniiyi is the actual reincarnation of Monife, fated to follow in her footsteps. There is also the matter of the family curse-"No man will call your house home. And if they try, they will not have peace"-which has broken numerous hearts and caused three generations of abandoned Falodun women to live under the same roof. When Eniiyi falls in love, she can no longer run from her family's history. Is she destined to live out her family's story of love and heartache? Or can she break the pattern, not only avoiding the spiral that led Monife to her lonely death but liberating herself from all the secrets and unspoken traumas that have dogged her steps since before she can remember?" -- Provided by publisher.
