Cursed Daughters

Ebun gives birth to a daughter, Eniiyi, on the same day her family buries her cousin Monife. The baby looks so much like the dead woman that the whole household decides she is Monife returned, and that she must follow Monife's path all the way to her lonely death.

The Falodun women carry a second burden, a curse spoken long ago: no man will call their house his home, and any who try will find no peace. It has passed down the generations, leaving three generations of abandoned women living under one roof in Lagos.

Eniiyi's life tightens around these stories when she falls in love with a boy she pulls from the water before he drowns. She can no longer keep away from what her family has handed her. Like several women before her, she turns to older and darker spiritual corners of the city and demands answers.

This is a family drama with a supernatural edge, centred on mothers, daughters and the secrets they keep unspoken. The central question is whether Eniiyi is bound to repeat the pattern of love and heartbreak or can break it, and free herself from the family's buried pain along with the curse.
