O ovoj e-knjizi
'The power of this weird, haunting fiction is undeniable.' Guardian
'Vivid, brutal, moving and tender. This is heartfelt and immersive.' Joanne Harris
'A delightful gourmet of magical, creative prose and masterful storytelling.' Alex Wheatle
In contemporary London, Therese, Azacca, Emilien and Finn are kindred spirits, bound by their shared descent from the loving yet vengeful deity, Oni. Set with a sacred task by their god, they travel to an otherworldly plane - but one day, something returns with them.
In the mountainous town of 17th-century Gethsemane, the mysterious arrival of Zulmira sparks a series of strange events that will leave the locals changed. As she settles into the community, these increasingly menacing miracles disrupt time and place, whilst the quartet discover the cost of their service to Oni.
With the past and the present set to collide, Curandera is a mythic tale of rebirth and redemption, love and jealousy, and the magnetic workings of shamanism.
'Mindbogglingly glorious.' Yvvette Edwards
'I was blown away by Curandera and by the epic scale of Okojie's imagination and creativity . . . I loved it.' Louise Minchin
'I'm in awe of Irenosen Okojie's burden of talent. Leave your rational mind behind with your phone and enter Curandera's spell.' Laline Paull
