Vivid, brutal, moving and tender. This is heartfelt and immersive.' Joanne Harris'Curandera is the mesmerising by-product of Okojie's extraordinary imagination and writing that is mindbogglingly glorious.' Yvvette EdwardsIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the past and present beginning to blur into one, Curandera is a story of rebirth and redemption, a mythic tale of recalibrations across time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for Irenosen Okojie's previous books:'Dazzling . . . a feast for the senses.' Diana Evans  'One of the finest literary imaginations working today.' Max Porter  'A liberatingly odd, seductive and fearless talent.' Laline Paull  'Okojie has a sharp eye . . . and a turn of phrase that switches from elegance to brutality in a single line.'
