Praise from Abi Daré
Abi Daré praises the novel as bold, searing, original, gripping, and difficult to put down.
A family curse and an inherited identity
A young woman’s attempt to escape a family curse is complicated by the belief that she is the reincarnation of her dead cousin. That premise brings family ties and inherited expectations into contact with questions of identity, while love, rivalry between women, and superstition shape the novel’s concerns. The description signals a comic edge, but offers little detail about the wider family or how the story develops.
