Resumen del Editor
The Sunday Times best seller.
Bolu Babalola takes the most beautiful love stories from history and mythology and rewrites them with incredible new detail and vivacity in her debut collection. Focusing on the magical folktales of West Africa, Babalola also reimagines iconic Greek myths, ancient legends from the Middle East, and stories from countries that no longer exist in our world.
A high-born Nigerian goddess feels beaten down and unappreciated by her gregarious lover and longs to be truly seen.
A young businesswoman attempts to make a great leap in her company, and an even greater one in her love life.
A powerful Ghanaian spokeswoman is forced to decide whether to uphold her family's politics, or to be true to her heart.
Whether captured in the passion of love at first sight, or realising that self-love takes precedent over the latter, the characters in these vibrant stories try to navigate this most complex human emotion and understand why it holds them hostage.
Moving exhilaratingly across perspectives, continents and genres, from the historic to the vividly current, Love in Colour is a celebration of romance in all of its forms.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Perfection in short story form. So rarely is love expressed this richly, this vividly, or this artfully." (Candice Carty-Williams)
"Beautifully written and full of joy. Bolu Babalola is a star." (Meg Cabot)
"Here is love as freedom, love as deep joy. Romance will never be dead, as long as Bolu is writing it." (Jessie Burton)

What a phenomenal read
Just when I think "This is my favourite love story," the next one starts and I'm super confused. Just loved it. well-researched. Excellent plot twists and magnificent characterisation and voices. I'm definitely a fan. Any similar reads? 🙏🏼

Love
The stories had beautiful imagery. You might need to be in the perfect headspace to fully take it in. My imagination kept doing the most throughout this listen. Enjoyed it!

Such lovely Short stories
Lovely stories of love that left me all warm and smiley. Initially, I found it difficult to keep up with every new character but I eventually got a hang of it.
My favorite line in the book
“She (the author) is fascinated by how much love can soften a hard life, highlight the best of you and not condemn the worst of you.”
This line reminds me of what marriage means to me. Thank you Babalola for the lovely work you've put together.
