Staff Book Recommendation - 'Love in Colour' by Bolu Babalola

Bolu Babalola finds the most beautiful love stories from history and mythology and rewrites them with incredible new detail and vivacity in this 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.   

These collections of short stories are colourful, exuberant and full of life. A beautiful re-telling of love stories which celebrate histories of other countries, while intertwining modern topics.   

A lovely way to ease yourself back into reading, while celebrating love and diversity.
