Curandera
Autor Irenosen Okojieen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2025
'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

Recenzii
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.
I'm in awe of Irenosen Okojie's burden of talent. Leave your rational mind behind with your phone and enter Curandera's spell.
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.
Curandera is the mesmerising by-product of Okojie's extraordinary imagination and writing that is mindbogglingly glorious.
With her trademark lyricism and inventiveness, Okojie takes us into different worlds . . . with an ease that runs as smooth as honey.
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.
Curandera is an exhilarating experience of a novel that will take you on a hallucinatory trip into the soul and the phantasmagorical unknown.
The style is chimeric and delirious.
Curandera is simply out of this world! It's like nothing I have read before. Irenosen Okojie effortlessly takes you into spheres you didn't know existed.
A mesmerising, time-bending tour de force, full of intoxicating magic and intrigue. I was hooked from the first page.
