3 w. ago Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite review – a family doomed in love

This intense follow-up to My Sister, the Serial Killer is a haunting story of heartbreak, grief and intergenerational traumaRepeat a family story often enough, and it becomes a kind of legend – or a curse. The Faloduns at the centre of Cursed Daughters share tales of heartbroken women across the generations who just can’t seem to hold on to a man. There’s Fikayo, whose husband left after he tired of tending to her chronic illness; Afoke, who seduced her younger sister’s boyfriend; Feranmi, the matriarch of the family, who got pregnant by a married man and received the curse from the man’s first wife. Again and again, the narrative is interrupted by these tales about grandmothers and great-great-grandmothers; eventually, it feels almost as if the novel is haunted by the stories themselves.Nigerian-British novelist Oyinkan Braithwaite splashed on to the literary scene in 2018 with My Sister, the Serial Killer, a taut debut about sisterhood, jealousy and murder. Cursed Daughters, her s...

3 w. ago Goodbye Matt Beard: the Del Boy of women’s football who took Liverpool to two WSL titles

Popular coach who believed in the women’s game when few did and cared for his players like they were his daughtersOn a tour around Liverpool’s revamped women’s training site at Melwood in 2024, of all the grand improvements to the building that Matt Beard could have pointed out with pride, one specific addition meant more to him than any other. It was a painting of his late father, done by a close friend, attached to the wall in his corner office, and his affection for that gift summed up his deep love for family, which is just one reason why the thoughts of so many people in the women’s football community turned immediately to his wife, children and all of his loved ones, after the shock news of his death at the age of just 47. The Beard family’s loss is being felt all across the sport on a deeply sad weekend for the women’s game, as he is remembered for both his ability to make people laugh and his ability to win football matches. Straight-talking in press conferences, but then ch...
