My Sister, the Serial Killer

[alobear]

My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite is from the point of view of Korede, a nurse in a hospital in Lagos, whose younger sister seems to have a habit of killing the men she's dating. It's a really interesting exploration of the extremes of family obligation, and does an extremely good job of presenting Korede's actions and decisions as inevitable and understandable (if not defensible). I had some theories and some expectations along the way, all of which were subverted. It's very well written and packs quite a punch. I read it all in one day.
