Klappentext

'A haunting, twisty tale of curses and romance' Ayòbámi Adébáyò,

• No man will call your house his home. And if they try, they will not have peace...*

  So goes the family curse, handed down from generation to generation, ruining families and breaking hearts as it goes. And now it's calm, rational Eniiyi's turn - who, due to her uncanny resemblance to her dead aunt, Monife, and her family's insistence that she must be a reincarnation, has long been used to some strange familial beliefs.

  Still, when she falls in love with the handsome boy she saves from drowning, she can no longer run from her family's history. Is she destined to live out the habitual story of love and heartbreak, or can she escape the family curse and the mysterious fate that befell her aunt?

  'Funny and fearless, soaked in secrets, spirit, heartbreak, and love... Impossible to put down' Abi Daré
