W. F. Howes to publish audiobook of Oyinkan Braithwaite’s Cursed Daughters
August 21, 2025
W. F. Howes is set to publish the audiobook version of Oyinkan Braithwaite’s upcoming Cursed Daughters, which will feature a trio of narrators.
The highly anticipated follow-up to My Sister, The Serial Killer will be released on audio by W. F. Howes, RBmedia’s UK publishing brand, featuring three Nigerian voice actors.
W. F. Howes said: “Captivating, dark and wickedly funny, Cursed Daughters follows the story of Eniiyi, a young Lagosian woman who must shake off a curse that has plagued her family for generations. Is she destined to live out the habitual tragic story of love and heartbreak, or can she finally break the pattern once and for all?”
Weruche Opia (known for series such as I May Destroy You, Bad Education), who narrated My Sister, The Serial Killer – one of W. F. Howes’ top-selling audiobooks of 2018/2019 – returns to spearhead the narration of Cursed Daughters. She will be joined by her sister, Nnei Opia Clark, and Diana Yekinni (known for film Heart of Stone and television show Murder Island), with the trio lending their voices to the book’s three main protagonists.
Braithwaite said: “I’m delighted to be teaming up with W. F. Howes again on the audio edition of my latest novel. My Sister, The Serial Killer was a big hit with fans, and Weruche’s authentic, pitch-perfect narration played an important part in its popularity. I can’t wait to hear how Weruche, Nnei and Diana bring Cursed Daughters to life and lift it from the page.”
Habiba Sacranie, senior acquisitions editor at W. F. Howes, added: “Following the explosive success of Oyinkan’s first novel, Cursed Daughters is the book everyone is talking about this year. And it truly lives up to the hype – a spectacular novel poised to be another global triumph. While it was important to replicate the formula that made My Sister, The Serial Killer such a success on audio, we also wanted to add an extra dimension to highlight the multi-generational voices within the story. We’re thrilled to have Weruche back in the studio, this time joined by two talented actors who will enrich the listening experience for audio fans.”
The Cursed Daughters audiobook will be released on 25th September 2025 and is available to pre-order now.
