AlbakiReads Editorial

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.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction about family ties and inherited beliefs.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving identity, love, and rivalry between women.
  • Readers interested in superstition as a force in family life.

Sharp, explosive, hilarious"--The New York Times)

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME, NPR, USA TODAY

"A triumph: bold, searing, and utterly original. From the first page, it grips with an electric pulse. . . . Impossible to put down."
--Abi Dar
