Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE NERO AWARD 2026
Your daughters are cursed. They will pursue men, but the men will be like water in their palms. Your granddaughters will love in vain. Your daughters, your daughter's daughters, and all the women to come will suffer for man's sake...
Eniiyi has heard about the family curse her whole life. She's never believed in it. She's also heard, her whole life, that she is the reincarnation of her dead aunt, Monife.
Same eyes, same left hand, same scar in the same place. She's never believed in that, either. Then she falls in love with a handsome local boy, and Monife begins to appear to Eniiyi: in her dreams, on the beach, in the mirror, pulling her, it seems, towards the same terrible fate.
Can Eniiyi live her life on her own terms, or is history - and the curse - repeating itself?
