Beschreibung

In the mountainous town of Gethsemane, 17th-century Cape Verde, a mysterious woman's arrival sparks a series of strange events that will leave the town's inhabitants changed: men sporadically blind in the afternoons, children disappearing and reappearing without warning and infertile women pregnant with the memories of past births.

In present-day London, a quartet are brought together by their fascination with ritual, miracles and a life beyond the mundane. Botanist Therese lives with Azacca, a soulful Haitian musician, Peruvian drifter Emilien, who is haunted by the past, and adventurous Finn, who is increasingly drawn to living life on the edge.

With the past and present beginning to blur into one, Curandera is a story of rebirth and redemption, a mythic tale of recalibrations across time.

Praise for Irenosen Okojie:

'A liberatingly odd, seductive and fearless talent' LALINE PAULL

'Linguistically inventive and always unpredictable, there is an emotional intensity and weirdness to her story telling that haunts and lingers' BERNARDINE EVARISTO

'Dazzling . . . A feast for the senses' DIANA EVANS

'One of the most original and innovative writers to emerge in many a year' ALEX WHEATLE

'Okojie has a sharp eye . . . and a turn of phrase that switches from elegance to brutality in a single line' STELLA DUFFY
