Join us for a reading with Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister the Serial Killer, followed by a conversation with Glory Edim, founder of Well-Read Black Girl.

 

"Femi makes three, you know. Three and they label you a serial killer."

 

A short, darkly funny, hand grenade of a novel about a Nigerian woman whose younger sister has a very inconvenient habit of killing her boyfriends
 

Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite's deliciously deadly debut is as fun as it is frightening.
