"Dark Angel" Oyinkan Braithwaite

This week’s guest is Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister The Serial Killer, the critically acclaimed debut novel recently shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction. We discuss her strategies for coping with criticisms, the importance of being grounded in faith, and the eccentricities of Nigerian humour which underpins the novel. In the second half, Oyinkan takes us on a musical journey through several books including Jane Eyre, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and why she cried uncontrollably after reading A voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers. An extended playlist of Saraiya Bah’s musical pairings is available on Spotify and YouTube
