📚👏🏿In store at A Different Booklist + more copies on the way. Congrats to Oyinkan Braithwaite, whose debut novel, MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER, has been longlisted for the The Booker Prizes 2019! Judges claim book is “as skilful, sharp and engaging a debut as any first novelist can produce" and the prose is “as pointed as a lethal weapon."

Art critic Moira Macdonald (for The Seattle Times) writes: " 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' was a big hit upon its publication in 2018; it was named to a number of best-books-of-the-year lists and was a finalist for the prestigious Women’s Prize for Fiction. Though she’s part of a strong recent line of Nigerian-born women authors — among them Ayebami Adebayo ('Stay With Me'), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ('Half of a Yellow Sun,' 'Americanah'), Helen Oyeyemi ('Boy, Snow, Bird,' 'Gingerbread'), and Chinelo Okparanta ('Under the Udala Trees') — Braithwaite’s voice is unique; I’ve never read anything quite like 'My Sister, the Serial Killer', and I can’t wait to read more from this author."
