About the Books
My Sister, the Serial Killer is Oyinkan Braithwaite's breakout novel, a darkly funny story of Korede, a dutiful Lagos nurse who keeps cleaning up after her glamorous younger sister Ayoola's boyfriends have a habit of turning up dead. Told in short, sharp chapters, it became a word-of-mouth favorite for its unflinching look at sisterhood, loyalty, and the lies families tell to protect one another. The Baby Is Mine is a leaner, faster read set during Nigeria's COVID-19 lockdown, following Bambi as he takes refuge at his late uncle's house only to find two women, each insisting the newborn baby in the home is hers. Braithwaite uses the compressed format to deliver a tense, funny, and surprisingly moving portrait of grief, deception, and domestic rivalry under one roof. Cursed Daughters is Braithwaite's most ambitious novel yet, spanning generations of a family shadowed by a long-held curse and the belief that a young woman is the reincarnation of a cousin who died before her. Moving between past and present, it blends family drama with myth and the uncanny, exploring inheritance and identity. Together, the three books trace Braithwaite's growth from razor-sharp crime comedy to expansive, generation-spanning storytelling, while keeping the same wicked humor throughout. This set is an ideal introduction for new readers and a satisfying deep dive for anyone ready for her full catalog in one brand-new paperback bundle.
