What to expect

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

Critics Review

I loved it. Vivid, brutal, moving and tender. This is heartfelt and immersive.

Okojie has served up a delightful gourmet of magical, creative prose and masterful storytelling. A rare talent.

With her trademark lyricism and inventiveness, Okojie takes us into different worlds . . . with an ease that runs as smooth as honey.

Curandera is the mesmerising by-product of Okojie’s extraordinary imagination and writing that is mindbogglingly glorious.

I was blown away by Curandera and by the epic scale of Okojie’s imagination and creativity. Her original and lyrical use of language is hypnotic and visceral . . . I loved it.

The power of this weird, haunting fiction is undeniable, largely due to a wonderfully inventive prose style that verges on the hallucinogenic while remaining bracingly grounded in the physical.

The Guardian

Curandera is an exhilarating experience of a novel that will take you on a hallucinatory trip into the soul and the phantasmagorical unknown

Bernardine Evaristo

The style is chimeric and delirious.
